Well we ended up in the clinci again this morning. His blowhole was very congested with something which looked as if it might have been infection. So better safe than sorry, I went early this morning to have it checked. Luckily, they were so nice as to clean it again for me and let me know it was not infection and it was complimentary, which was so nice. Everytime I hit the clinic it is $100, so this was really nice.
He put up a big fight this morning even mouthing David's hands as he was trying to clean. I was afraid he might bite,which he has NEVER offered to do to anyone, but David said "not Jack. If he wanted to bite he would have already." He was just putting on for the vet. He sits quietly at home for me to clean it, but my cleanings aren't quite so thorough. I am so afraid to hurt him. Now of course after his big show he is absolutely exhausted again. Sleeping like a baby. His congestion is so much better. He is finally clearing that mucus out of his blowhole.And he has learned to exhale thru the blowhole which means the sutures they put in the other day are really helping. I still think the pain patch is making him a little too sedated, so I may remove it tonight. They gave me that option.. I would like to see him a little more lively, a little less sleepy.
I can't tell you how much you all mean to me. I am thinking of all of you and blessing you every day for helping me. I don't know what I would have done without Jack. He is heart of my heart.
Love and big Husky hugs,

Well, sorry this is so tardy this morning. I am glad Joanna let you know what was going on. She is a dear dear friend. Jack slept soundly until nearly 9 pm. In fact so soundly that he lost control of his bladder and didn't even wake up, so we had a little mess to clean up. So he went outside then moved to bed and fell right asleep. This morning he is a little more congested, so I have been cleaning the blowhole with saline and gauze. He is still really exhausted and sedated looking. If this continues, I am to remove his pain patch since it may be too heavy for him. He slept until nearly noon even though I was up early. He moved in with Paul, who is ill, too, and the boys took a much needed rest together, when Paul got up, I think he would have stayed in bed, but he came in to lay down by my feet. I am hoping to get him to outside. The sunshine has finally made an appearance for the first time since Saturday and I think it will do us all good to get out and move a little.
Hoping this day finds all of you well and happy. God bless you all
Love and Husky hugs,
Debbie and Jack
