2 weeks have passed and Jack went back to the specialty hospital for a re-consultation. No fluid was found in his abdomen and his blood test does not indicate any abnormalities. The vet reasonably concluded that Jack is medically cleared and does not need to revisit the specialty hospital.

The antibiotics treatment is over today and Jack will need to have a blood test one month later at the family vet clinic. Jack still needs to be under observation within this month as we have to monitor him for any post surgerical complication symptoms after the stoppage of his medication. He is off the e-collar and can finally go back to his normal life routine eg having walks and free to walk around the house.

With most of the signs showing Jack is heading into the correct direction, we are temporarily stopping all donations at this stage. We would like to thank you all the donors for helping Jack out. Even though a second surgery (which was predicted) was not required at the last minute, the donations received have aided the recovery much smoother in terms of:

- With the donations received, the specialty hospital was the first choice to go to for the second surgery since the hospital is better equipped.

- All the medical decisions made are solely based on Jack’s health instead of financial considerations since the financial pressure has been relieved.

We will give an update on Jack in a month’s time. Once again, we appreciate all the help given to us to help Jack during this difficult time.
