Brodie

[dragonfly]

left Edinburgh at 1pm on the dot and arrived home in Thurso at 6:45 so not bad going with a caravan! he was just delighted to see Bracken and was like Bambi on ice on my kitchen floor, slipping all over the place (I really need to clip his feet!)

He's now been fed and is sleeping away quite peacefully and no, he won't be inbetween us Skinnydog

arrived home to the final bill though happy to say its a lot cheaper than 1st quoted but the final amount paid will still be over £5k!!! but worth every single penny

He's got to go back for a re-evaluation of the constrictor on 9th April but that will only be a case of dropping him off in the morning, them rescanning to make sure everything ok with liver and us picking him up again in the afternoon

Just happy to be home and have Brodie home and him having a better than good chance of a healthy life now.

thanks everyone for all your support xxx

Delighted for you all Dragonfly that everything went well with Brodie and that you are back home safe and sound.

More great news Dragonfly. Well apart from the bill!

Still, as you say, worth every penny to have Brodie well and happy.

Upwards and onwards now!

So happy for you all Dragonfly. It's been a long tough journey for you and Brodie but, all's well that ends well. Bless you all X.

Thats good news your all home now and the vets are so pleased with Brodie.

The bills a shocker but as you say worth every penny.

Hope Brodie is able to get down to that beach he loves so much today,its dodge the hail showers here .

[dragonfly]

Cuddlepop we were expecting the total of all the bills to be over £7k so delighted at just over £5k, hopefully thats all it will be! Not sure if we have to pay when we go back in April but assuming we will have to.

I'll try to take some pics of his latest wounds and will post them later.

So glad this tale has a happy ending. Been on here every day keeping up with Brodie's progress. The thoughts of many have been with you the whole way.

[hell raizer]

i'm glad that brodie is feeling more like himself, boy that is some bill

[dragonfly]

for the squeamish, don't pan down - Brodie's battle scars in full glory, staples and all

[teenybash]

Just look at that little bald belly and he has no shame in showing all.........of his scar. Seriously that was certainly a bit of mega surgery with wound to prove it!!!
I must say it is all beautifully clean with not even a trace of inflamation around the edges or staples. A brilliant job well done by the looks of things and well done Brodie and you in withstanding the stress of it all.....
Really looking forward to all your updates and more Brodie pics please...he is so beautiful and so special...I think Pets Corner has adopted him.

[dragonfly]

hopefully there will be no inflammation Teenybash, if there is it will mean that this incision wound has the ecoli bug too and we don't want that - just want him to get better quickly

Brodie has touched a lot of people and even with all this we feel especially lucky to have him in our life - thats why we've done all we can to keep him with us for hopefully a long time

[Liz]

Wow that is some battle scar!

As Teenybash says though it is lovely and clean.

Yes Brodie has touched many of us. Think he will be the Pets Corner pet?

[Margaret M.]

Oh my stars, what an incision. I'm so happy that Brodie is yours -- who knows what the outcome for Brodie may have been were he not. I bet it feels good to be home and knowing that Brodie is doing so well is the icing on the cake.

Yes Brodie has touched many of us. Think he will be the Pets Corner pet?

I agree, Liz, and we'll need regular pics and updates.

[Margaret M.]

Binbob, I hope you are doing well. Have a safe trip home on Wednesday.

Thats some battle scar your wee Brodie has.Have you been given any instructions to keep it clean?it looks a wee bit red in places.Even after surgery poor you is still worrying about infections.Hopefully you'll soon be at the end of your very long and tiresome road.
