Patsy Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ouch! That hurts just to look at--sooooooo glad she could have the surgery so quickly--don't want to think about what another day would have brought. Mafi, sweetie, sleep well with your good drugs and feel better soon.

Guest Tatum Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Whew - just got the word that surgery's done and she's awake. Most of her tail had to be removed because of the location of the lesion. And we agreed that the tail needs to be sent for biopsy, to be sure we're not dealing with the "O" word. She's seen it in the tail of one greyhound but it didn't present with a draining sore like Mafi did. I'll be bringing my little galga/Dobie home later this afternoon and update when she's home. I'm so grateful this has been taken care of quickly, but ohhhhhhhhh, that beautiful, skinny, long tail! Thanks so much for your good thoughts! ETA:: thanks, Tatum! I actually had to have a tail amp done on one of my first hounds, Robbie, back in 1992. She had constant happy-tail, and with all the blood-baths and the risk of the tail becoming necrotic, it was amputated down to about 6". She loved it! She could wag twice as face -- I called it her wagette. That is hilarious! Wagette! Yes Tatum could wag faster afterwards - unfortunately she has Osteo and we will have to let her go soon. She has been a great pet (our first grey) and she has given us so much love that although we are heartbroken we will rescue again.

greyhndz Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Mafi is home and doing fine. The surgery went well and she's comfortable tonight after eating a good supper. My vet and her tech remarked on how depressed she was this morning, and how improved she was after she woke up.I also hear tell that she was flirting with a handsome greyhound boy in the cage next to hers! Leave it to Mafi... She probably got his cell # and will be texting him behind my back. It looks as if she's got around 8" of tail left - hard to tell with the toilet paper roll wrapped around it. She's much more comfortable, and I don't think she needs pain meds right now. Just having that awful tail off must feel great. Thanks again for your support. Now, it's just waiting for biopsy results next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhndz Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Your vet takes "reduce, reuse, recycle" kinda serious huh? Reduced the dog's tail, and reuse/recycled the toilet paper roll! :lol The funniest part of the TP roll is that my vet's new practice is paper-free. It's all electronic records, digital xray, wi-fi, and lots of medical technology. So the TP role creally cracked me up! But it's doing the job, it's light and unobtrusive and it's kinda cute! Ducky, indeed the magic PJs are surrounding her with love and healing. She was so happy when she saw me coming to put them on. Her guardian angel Nina is keeping Mafi warm and safe.

I'm sure extra scritches, belly rubs and treats will speed the healing, too! Will be chanting "B9" until you receive the results of the biopsy.

greyhndz Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Oops! Sorry 'bout that. The Galga Queen is doing fine. The TP tube is gone, and I'm just putting a bandage over what's left of her tail. She's not wagging, but because of her long, skinny, sweeping tail, her wags have been slow and long -- more like a swipe. Hopefully she'll figure out a new wag style. She's already maul...er, hugged me several times. She's been good about letting me handle her tail-ette to rebandage it. The wound looks good. The biopsy report should be in later this week.
