A final “farewell” to HammerEDIT: 05.03.2013, 13:00
Hammer had a second surgery.
To all that made Hammer’s miracle possible!
Here he is, the good boy – operated by the wonderful doctor Zlatinov at the Central Veterinary Clinic:
As you already know, Hammer was operated on Friday (Feb 8), the surgery took a very long time, but it was a success. The spine has been fixed, but the eye that needs to be removed has been left for “later” as Hammer spent too long under the anesthetic and it couldn’t be prolonged for the eye as well.
Currently, Hammer is recovering and is going through special procedures where electrical impulses are being sent through his nerves in order to stimulate them. Also, he is getting physiotherapy with a special treadmill, because he is too weak to stand up, he needs to build up some strength. To be able to monitor how his spinal surgery develops, he is being x-rayed every day.
We thank the fantastic doctors at the Central Veterinary Clinic for the huge care and to all of you who made this miracle a possibility for Hammer. His stay at the clinic costs between 35 and 50 BGN per day, but we don’t have the guts to ask for anything more after all the pleas we have sent to you during the last days. We remain waiting, Hammer is giving his best and will hopefully soon be rewarded for his patience!
PS If you accidentally happen to pass by the CVC – to see him, or to donate something, please have in mind that he goes under the name of “Slavi” there.
