Today, Mr. Ernie was at LAH for a possible rectal polyp. A complimentary nail trim was also done.
Total Vet Bill: $115.94
Here is what the Vet had to say:
“I had the pleasure of assessing Ernie today. I suspect that he has a rectal polyp. The mass is approximately 1cm in diameter and there is a very long, thin stalk (1-2cm in length) anchoring it to the rectum. It bled after I manipulated it, but the bleeding stopped after a couple of minutes. I was very hesitant to pull on it, but I think it should be straightforward to remove.
The mass portion appeared to be friable and I was able to get a sample of the mass.
I recommend that you have it removed when possible under general anesthesia. If he will be undergoing another entropion surgery, it would be reasonable to do it then. I would not do it at the time if his stifles undergo surgery as there is a risk of feces contaminating that surgical site during his recovery.”

Mr. Ernie was at the vet today for a recheck after his bilateral entropion surgery. The Vet wishes to see him back in a month. X-rays of his knees/hips have been sent onward to two Ortho specialists to obtain their thoughts.

BHRR’s Ernie was scheduled to have his next recheck, boosters, etc., yesterday, January 8th, yet his foster home reached out to say that he had been exposed to Kennel Cough.
So, unfortunately, until he recovers, we cannot move forward with his boosters and then schedule his x-rays under sedation, bilateral entropion surgery, neuter, etc.
BHRR’s Ernie – our newest addition to BHRR!
He is a DDB, ~2 years old, and a ham!
He has a possible fractured tail, hip, and knee issues, and needs bilateral entropion surgery and to be neutered. He came into the rescue quite skinny and has been putting on the weight nicely.
We shall be doing X-rays on his tail, hips plus knees when he is under for his neuter. He is far too painful to attempt to manipulate him without sedation. We have him on Gabapentin for pain management.
He has been dewormed, is on flea/tick meds, has had his first vaccines and is back for another recheck and boosters in January.
His bills to date are over $1,200.
He has been treated for ear infections, and we have him on a fish-based food to help with his skin and any possible allergies.
Thank you to his special secret Santas for the pressies, including a Wiggle Bumz collar, leash, treats, toys, and an orthopedic dog bed.
This picture is from his foster home with some of his goodies.

We will follow our Lion King theme as we have done with previous DDBs we have assisted and call him “Ernie”. This is after Ernie Sabella, the voice of Pumbaa in The Lion King.
