Maxwell “Today”

Maxwell remained hospitalized for another two days as we watched his strength and blood parameters improve daily. About 24 hours after his surgery, his appetite came back with a vengeance! We knew we had crossed a hug milestone.

Maxwell is back home now and, having averted a life threatening incident, he is back to his old self. The lesson to be learned here is the quick recognition of signs of bloat is of utmost importance. had Maxwell’s parents delayed getting him examined, our story could have had a very different outcome.
