Poor Alex was run over by a car a few days ago. Alex is now all set up in a wire crate in my home office. Poor baby is half bald! He has an incision running all down the side of his back across his belly and up to his sternum. The two interior muscles of the abdominal wall had ripped clean off his rib cage. The vet tucked his intestines all back in, and carefully wrapped the edges of the muscles around his ribs and sewed them on that way. Alex is so sweet! He is just laying on his towel making biscuits watching me. He is so happy to be home. The vet seems to think Alex will make it. I did not even ask how much his vet bill is going to be. Finances are strapped right now. I'm not looking forward to seeing the bill. Especially since he spent two nights at the vet, with the vet going in 4 times a night to check on him, and the surgery was 1 1/2 hours long.
