Hi, I’m new to this forum, Milo my 11 year old labrador just had surgery tonight, they had to remove 75% of his colon. I’ve started to find more information on what this mean, the dr did he will poop more and have diarrhea, so I wonder if this is similar to having your small intestine remove or if the results will be different.
We’ll go to see him tomorrow, and talk more to the dr on detailed care, but any information or guidance will help, I feel like a terrible mom because he have a history of gastroenteritis and usually the antibiotic metronidazole and omeprazol would work, this time it didn’t and I waited until the morning to go for a re-check, I keep going into my head what if I took him early would they have operated him early and remove less colon making it better 🙁
Thanks for the comments, it’s good to know that there are other dogs with similar issues living a happy life
