fourofem Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 WOW!!! I think he looks awesome after the surgery he went through. Will he always have the snaggles or is that just the swelling or healing process? It never ceases to amaze me what these vets can do. Nothing but good wishes for a speedy recovery and if snags are the result, he'll be an even better looking boy for it!!!!

Guest greytkidsmom Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Will he always have the snaggles or is that just the swelling or healing process? He will always have the snaggles. Once the swelling goes down, we will have to watch to see if they rub the outside of his muzzle. (They actually had one of the dentists look at him before he left.) If they rub too badly, he will have to go see the dentist about something to either file them down or remove them. The funny thing (sort of) is that we have one dog with a big overbite so now with Kebo's underbite we have a matched pair He is eating and drinking like a champ. He has emptied his bowl at every meal and taking all of his medicines. He even tolerates the warm compresses well. He hasn't shown any signs of stress colitis like he had after the first surgery. I hope the rest of his recovery continues to be so smooth. We live 2 blocks from our church so we walked him over this morning for a blessing just to cover all of the bases The other interesting thing is that Tiel has stopped sniffing his mouth. She has been obsessed with sniffing his mouth for months. They say that some dogs can smell cancer. DH and I wonder if that was what she had been smelling. Of course, it could just be coincidence but we hope that it means they got it all out. Edited April 11, 2011 by greytkidsmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbhounds Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just wondering how Kebo is feeling. Did you get the path report back yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytkidsmom Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 His handsomeness on postoperative day 10... Kebo is feeling pretty good I think. His nose is looking more and more like, well, a nose. He continues to be insulted by the e-collar but he swats at his nose when he gets it off. He eats all of his food and his poops are back to normal. I called yesterday about his path because I hadn't heard and they called me back with the most cryptic report. It might have been the ambien I had taken and was asleep (working nights) but she said it might be fibrosarcoma but it might be something else benign and that it is going to take another week to determine if they got margins. We get his stitches out tomorrow and I had NC State fax the report to my vet so we could read it and maybe make some sense out of it.

Rickiesmom Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Awwww, he looks stoned but content. Normally I'd ask you to kiss his sweet nose for me, but under the circumstances, maybe the top of his head would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greytkidsmom Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Stitches out today - yay! He still has to wear the "cone of shame" as the incision continues to heal. The pathology report is only the soft tissue, not the bone. The bone report will take another week. It is the bone report that will tell if they got wide margins. However, the soft tissue report has a lot of words but most importantly "no obvious signs of neoplasia." That means they don't see any cancer cells in the soft tissue. The vet said she sees this a lot when she has to repeat a resection and it is a good thing. I agree. Just have to wait for one more report... Unfortunately, our vet just told us she was moving We will see another vet in the same practice who has seen each of the dogs a couple of times for semi-urgent issues. She is super smart and really nice so we should be in good hands. Our vet does not seem happy about the move so I don't think we've seen the end of her... Will post more pictures over the weekend when I have a little more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
