Thank you for filling my inbox with best wishes for Hugo Yugo’s dental surgery. I am happy to report that she arrived at the veterinary surgery at 0800 as requested during a brisk snowstorm. We just picked her up at 1430 and the wind is still blowing strong. It is the first time in my recent memory that I recall such deep and blowing snow at mid-December. Of course, my memory could be wrong, but in past years we needed the moisture. This year we are getting lots of it.
The surgery went well. Hugo Yugo had to have two more teeth removed than anticipated. In total there were 12. The very back teeth, the molars, have lost half their ‘gum’?. She will need to have her teeth brushed daily like we have been doing. She goes back for her post-op surgery review on the 30th and her next cleaning on the 11th of June.
She came home and was ravenous! No hard kibble just soft food. She is looking good!
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

So glad that all went well, Mary Ann! I’ve been thinking about Hugo Yugo all day… really happy she is home and eating. Thanks for letting us know. 😸💓
Oh, thank you. She survived it well!
Let Hugo Yugo know we all wish the best in recovery for her here in Texas.
Oh, thank you. She is getting better each day. I fear my dear girl will lose all her teeth. We will chat about some options you and me.
Thanks Mary Ann! Hugo Yugo looks good and I’m so glad he’s home!
