I am happy to report that after extensive debriding of Rumble's neck wound, the Surgeons were finally able to close the large opening.   The surgery was incredibly long and challenging because the wounds were so deep.  The biggest issue on the Dorsal Side was that a large amount of muscle and soft tissues had to be removed and then put back.  There were two large neck lymph nodes that were removed and sent off for a biopsy.

After the Doral Side had been completed, Rumble was rotated on his back so the Ventral wounds could be closed. The Ventral wounds were deep and low on the neck which made the surgery difficult. The hardest part was dissecting the tissue off the Jugular Vein and excising it.  Once that was done, the wound could be closed.

Dr. Michelle Nanfelt did an amazing job on sweet Rumble closing his neck wound, and the ER Vets made it all possible by their continued debriding of the wound.    One of the reasons why I use the hospitals I use is because they are the best at what they do and they work together to save our animals.

Adorable Rumble is all puppy that wants to run and play all day long.  He will go from sun-up to sun-down.  When he finally crashes for the night, he has used up all his extra energy and sleeps like a baby. He is a sweetheart of a pup that loves everyone. He will make a wonderful member of the Family for someone that does long walks or jogs.
