He had 3 different lumps. Each of them were not alike in anyway. With his history of MCTs, I told them to let the vet decide if any needed to be sent off for pathology. She would know which, if any, were suspicious.
His day started off wrong. He wanted to chew on his Pork Chomp, but I took it away this morning. I wouldn't give him a brush chew. I wouldn't let him eat or drink.
Then I take him to the vet. He's already nervous because an early morning car ride is out of his normal routine. Then in the vet he must have sensed my nervousness, because he was even more nervous than usual. UGH!!
Of course I hated leaving him.
Came home to Peryn who was all alone. I don't think he's ever been home alone. So he was quite happy to see Momma.
Peryn was quite happy at lunch and tried to continue play time long after lunch. Momma had to use Momma voice to get him to stop and lay down. He would have kept going all afternoon if he had his way.
Just received the call from the vet. Surgery went well. They removed the 3 spots and the vet decided the one on his torso, by his leg, really should be sent for pathology. I am not surprised the one she sent as that one was concerning to me as I've monitored its growth this past year.
Prayers that the margins are clear AND that the grade of the tumor is low!!!!
I get to pick him up in 2 hours. He will not be getting an E-collar nor a donut. The wound on his neck cannot be "rubbed" the way the collar would. SO now I have to locate a turtleneck that would fit him. Oh the fun times I'm about to have.
I'm relieved he made it through surgery.
Looks like I am going to be taking Peryn to PetSmart with me to search for a sweater for my big Dude.
Well, Peryn & I went to PetSmart to look for a sweater of Volos.
Peryn fooled everyone into thinking he's this sweet quite boy. HA!! Little Jerk peed on a display thing while we were there.
I did find the perfect sweater for Volos though. I also picked him up some new toys as his "Get Well/Forgive me" presents.
Dude is a little loopy. His one incision is swollen, but he was so relieved to leave there and get in the car to leave. When we got home he was quite pleased with my offerings.
Oh, and he looks so handsome in his sweater. And he better because the surgery was ....a lot. Like much more than we thought.
Right now, he & Peryn are checking each other out. Peryn is making sure Volos is ok. Volos is unsure what he wants to do or go. I'm just glad to have him home.
We just need to wait for the results.
I'm going to go ice his one surgical site now and hopefully he'll chill out.
I will keep you all posted on any news I hear.
