Cricket the Wonder Dog


Guest Post Alert - Ryan reporting on Cricket, the hero dog.

Cricket the wonder dog is getting older.  She had a cyst in her ear that would not heal.  So her traveling vet, Ben Brown, performed a surgery in his traveling vet van - so cool.  It took many hours under anesthesia in his surgery van and Ben and his assistant was visibly tired by the time it was complete, but Cricket made it through.  It has been 1.5 weeks since the surgery and she has been recovering well.  She is done with her medications which were administered in a pill pocket - this ingenious hickory smoked flavored treat that is soft and covers many pills so Cricket can swallow it down quickly.  Cricket has been wearing the 'cone of shame' for some time now but will get her stitches out next Monday.  You can do this Cricket!  We highly recommend Dr. Ben Brown, Veterinarian: http://thetravelvet.com/Home.html


Cricket and the cone of shame.

Stitches on top of her ear and inside her ear due to the size of the cyst.

Pill pockets are amazing. I want some for my kids as well.
