Guest goofydog Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) I dropped him at the vet this AM to have a suspicious spot on his chest and a hard lump on his neck removed. He was like Gee this morning when he didn't get breakfast, just didn't know what to think! TIA Update: Get Em is home The vet found 2 more lumps on/in his neck that hadn't emerged yet so she took those along with the one that was visible. She believes one or more of these can/will reappear. She doesn't even want to hazard a guess as to what they are since it could be many things. The spot on his chest she feels strongly was a cutaneous hemangiosarcoma. Dr. Sherri told me that 98% of the time just excising it would be all that needs to be done, rarely do they reappear and she got good, clean margins . The path report will take 10-14 days before we can say for sure though. His neck looks kinda like Frankenstein with a 1.5" and another 3" incision. He is still groggy and spent 5 minutes walking in circles around the dining table before joining me in the office for a nap. I'm guessing ice cream will have to wait until tomorrow, but that's okay, my boy is home. Thank you, our GT family, for all of your prayers and well wishes, they really work Toni the relieved Edited August 17, 2010 by goofydog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudzu Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I dropped him at the vet this AM to have a suspicious spot on his chest and a hard lump on his neck removed. He was like Gee this morning when he didn't get breakfast, just didn't know what to think! TIA OMG, you are in soooooo much trouble Missy!! ... Wait, sorry ... We're thinking and sending good thoughts to my wonderful, delightfully quirky, much loved, sometimes visiting & often borrowed, surrogate hound, Get Em the Greyt. It's going to be fine. Is Dr Kevin doing the surgery or is Get Em somewhere else? ... OK, back to rant. You scared the bejeepers out of me with that short, omninous subject line. Couldn't you have added a little more like "Removing two lumps today" or better yet "Gentle Thought For Get Em Please (But it isn't an emergency or anything, Laura, so don't panic when you see this)" or some such? Geeze, give a girl a heart attack, will ya?!! All will be well ... just won't be able to accuse him of being lumpy & spotty anymore ... all will be well ... though Toni will have Get Em pacing all evening ... all will be well ... and he may have to wear a shirt for a while ... all will be well ... and he gets to have two more scars ... all will be well ... and we'll wonder for days until the biopsy results return ... but all will be well ... and his mom will post the results as soon as she gets them. Right, Mom? ... even though all will be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
