Ghandi lost a tooth

This morning, I had to take Ghandi back to the vet to get his bad milk tooth taken out. I could stay with him until he was asleep. It was no fun to see them try to put in an IV. Ghandi was squirming and after 2 tries it was in, but only for a few seconds and then Ghandi had pulled it out again. Blood everywhere. The assistant then held Ghandi really tight and the vet injected the narcosis medicine right into a muscle. That is very painful and Ghandi cried accordingly. As the assistant let go of Ghandi, he first ran away from her, then ran to me and jumped into my arms. I held him there until he was sleeping.

When I got home, Reto had gone for a walk with Wesha. Wesha was searching Ghandi when she came back. She could smell him on my clothes and sniffed my clothes extensively.

When I went back to the vet to pick Ghandi up, he was barely awake, and very scared. He was trembling like a leaf. While I was talking to the vet, the trembling got less and after a few minutes in the car he had stopped trembling. (Reto was driving while I held Ghandi on my lap) When we got home, Wesha was overjoyed to see her buddy again. She sniffed him all over and was a bit puzzled that he didn't want to play. Ghandi slept on my lap for an hour and a half. Once he got up and walked outside, but as soon as he was outside, it was like he had forgotten what he wanted to do. He just stood there, looking blank. So I carried him inside again and he slept some more.

Only around 16.00 hrs, he became more alert and active again. We fed him a chicken neck and it stayed in. Later in the afternoon, he started to play with Wesha again. In the evening I took him with us on our evening walk and he was happily running around in the fields with tall grass.

Apart from taking out the milk tooth, the vet also cleaned the rest of his teeth, took out a bit of a tick that got stuck behind his ear and checked his blood and urine (both fine). So Ghandi is as good as new.
