Peter’s difficult operation




Peter had no ectopic ureters, as suspected in Holland, but the left kidney was not functioning at all and much enlarged. As well as vascular malformations in the ureter and enlarged blood vessels. A very serious operation was needed, since the kidney had to be removed. It took several hours of surgery but the vet and Peter have won the fight. The kidney was successfully removed despite the size and the enlarged blood vessels, and now Peter is beginning to recover slowly at home with Claudia and Klaus.


After the first restless night, he needed prescribed painkillers drops and later he was checked by the vet. Everything was okay, the operation went well despite the severity.

Read also another report by Claudia about the first day after surgery.


Peter is, of course, still in pain and moves very carefully but he lives and !!!!! he doesn't lose urine anymore.

It is frightening to think what he would have to endure if Claudia and Klaus had not responded so quickly. First our little Peter has to recover totally with Claudia and Klaus, but we already would like to ask, who can offer a new and loving home for this small, brave, loving guy?
