After a few hours Shaq is doing much better. If I know one thing about dogs it’s that if they are eating it’s a great sign. It’s been a big long stressful day for him but I’ll sleep in beside him tonight. Hopefully the first day of the rest... show more

Shaq went in for his operation today. It was a very dangerous procedure. All the big guy wanted as a street dog was a chance at life… (1/5) 🧵

The operation lasted 3 hours and took a huge amount out of Shaq. He was very scared, nervous and in pain despite all the drugs. He made it through the day though and came home this evening. You can see from the scar how much work had to be done (2/5)

We don’t have the luxury of 24 hour vets here. Getting the operation done was hard enough. He was still asleep when he came home. He is with me in Tina’s old bed. He was shaking, very cold and not looking great at first (3/5)

He was incredible restless and on the edge for 2-3 hours. I have him hidden in my spare room from Jumbo and Derek. Shaq has never been in a house before and it’s all new to him. He’s terrified as well as very sick. Very nerve wracking as I’m not a vet obviously 😅 (4/5)

This is very encouraging. I hope you both have a good night. Come on Shaq! 🙏 Won't it be grand when you have Tina's Hospital to provide care for these lovely doggos?

Oh it’ll make everything 100 times easier. The transport and recovery in different places etc is a nightmare

Beautiful Shaq has the will to live his best life..When they eat & pee that's a good sign..Thank you, for saving his life Niall...🐕🥰🙏.

Absolutely heartwarming to hear that Shaq is on the mend. It's true, a good appetite often signals a strong spirit in dogs. The care you're showing by staying close to him through the night is exactly what sets a devoted companion apart from a mere owner. Shaq is lucky to have you! This boy has the best person beside him to help him pull through so he going to pull through!

He seems to be hungry so that is good! 💪🏻 I’m praying for him and am so glad that the surgery was a success! ❤️

😭😭 soooo happy to see him eat 🙏🙏🙏

Im so happy he made it through the op. Long recovery ahead but with you by his side he will be just fine ❤️

He is very blessed to have you. I can understand him being scared because he goes to sleep in one place and wakes up somewhere else even though it's safe. He was probably quite disoriented and glad he settled in. I'm glad he's eating well and praying for a wonderful recovery. Yes, it's a good sign he's eating because that means he's able to swallow his tongue is doing its job. I look forward to the great updates about Shaq.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated 🐾🙏🐾

Bless him and his tongue actually works still!
