Guest EmilyAnne Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Just a quick update. Many of you know Riley (my american eskimo) has a carpal mast cell tumor. He underwent anesthesia today for a biopsy. Everything went well, only one stitch. He's dopey, but glad to be home. He will have to wear the evil e-collar tonight. In one week we will get the biopsy result. Thank you everyone for the prayers, good thoughts and support you have been giving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EmilyAnne Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 This just occured to me, shouldn't Riley have gotten antibiotics? Or is a biopsy with only one stitch not something that usually needs a preventive antibiotic? It's really swelling up. He was crying, and so I iced it for him, per the vet's instructions. Out of all the dogs I have ever had, he has the lowest threshold for pain. The vet said no pain med cause he wont need it being on Benadryl. If he spends the night crying, I am pursuing pain meds for him. How it looked a week ago: How it looks at this moment: OUCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KyGrey Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 That looks horrible! Give him a hug from me. I think I would pursue the pain meds if you think he needs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EmilyAnne Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He is doing much better today. He ate all of his breakfast (I doctored it up a bit ), and he has not cried at all today, and is back to wagging his tail almost as much as ever today. The swelling is not gone, but it is not as bad as yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
