This comment doesn't sit well with me. It was clearly intended to make it sound like all FFF cares about is being able to hunt her this fall when the only reason he's mentioned the season opener is due to this being a HUNTING forum. Do better.

Thanks for the understanding. You're a dog guy so I know you get it. My upland thread has always had the dogs front and center as that is what's important in the hunt for me. Those that can't relate figure your star player of your favorite team finds out they have an issue right before training camp what would be your reaction? Really don't want this thread to get personal so just let it be.
Nova has an appointment next Wednesday Doc says 10-14 days after surg' should be good to run.

Never like to see these threads.
Our dogs are like family and when they are ill it really hits hard.. 
My chocolate lab had bout of diarrhea last Friday. I took the day off to be with her. No way I was going to leave her when she looked at me for help...

Don't distress too much. Having it looked after more to minimize risk of traumatic injury than anything else. If he was more elegant like a typical setter won't worry as much but he's more of a bulldozer than a ballet dancer when it come to the uplands. Hope you pup is feeling better this summer with the heat and wet weather making for alot of bad puddles that dogs just can't resist from drinking from

Sorry to hear that. It's never a good time when the dogs have issue's. And the timeframe of right before hunt season, i'm sure he would be rather upset if he had to miss out. Hopefully all goes well

So Nova is sleeping off the anesthesia and all is well. Handed him off to me wearing a cone of shame and all I could think was "great always had a good nose now they added radar". They removed a cyst so should heal without incidence. 10-14 days recovery than try to get him (and me) fit for the fall.

Best of luck for a speedy and complete recovery.
