galgomum Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yesterday I was back at the vet with Paquita. The result on the needle aspirations were back and luckily the mass isn't malignant. But it is right on her trachea in a very nasty place. Since she will have to be on the plane in 7 weeks we aren't going to take the risk that it will suddenly start growing and cause her breathing problems, it will be removed on wednesday. Still, the fact that she is panting so much, and her fears are so much worse for the last couple of week and she even tried to bite me when I came close to her treat still puzzles us. So blood was taken friday to thoroughly check it out. Up to now longs, heart, liver, kidneys and so on are fine. Only a slight raised Creat. level The rest of her blood is sent of to check for other things like thyroid problems. really hate having to put her through this.

Guest grey_dreams Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hoping for an easy and completely successful operation for Paquita. Also hope her panting fear and irritability are just because of the mass, and once it's gone she will quickly be back to her old self.

galgomum Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 She back home, sore but ok. Threw up 3 times after drinking a bit of water, she must have felt horrible. They took out the growth and she now has a 2 inch long wound on her neck. Horrible place, both collar and harness will touch it so we have to be really careful. Before the op I was told her blood was ok, but when the other vet brought her back home, we talked a little (he knows my dogs very, very well and is the vet for the coursingtrack that is close) about the way she is acting lately and he siad to check her thyroid again in one or two months. It was on the low side. Not low enough to get her on meds yet, but if it goes down more she needs to be on medication. Also just found out her littermate past away 3 months ago, 2 weeks after an operation. They don't know why, he just didn't wake up one morning. So I am keeping a real good eye on her, she is only 7 and I need her around a long long time.

GreytHoundPoet Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I was worrying about Paquita knowing her surgery was soon. I hope she recovers quickly and well and will keep that beautiful girl in my thoughts.
