Xan Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) My bruiser boy, Pogo, is at the vet for a few growth removals, but the one that worries me most is on his eyeball. : They'll be sent to pathology, as he keeps getting them, and I want to know for sure what we're dealing with here. Especially since ... well ... eyeball!! Any good thoughts would be appreciated! Obligatory pics to focus good thoughts on: On the way to the vet's this morning. My smiley boy! Goodness! That pic is HUGE!! Edited July 26, 2012 by Xan Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.

Xan Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 The office just called to say he did great, is waking up fine, and I can pick him up around 4:30! Whew. That part's over, anyway! Thanks for the good thoughts! Kudzu, yes, he does have a tough-looking face, and he has some (occasional, dog fear-aggression) issues to go with it, but he loooooooooves humans!! While we were waiting at the counter, a tech saw his face peeking around the corner, and she just busted up laughing, then came and gave him a pet.

Xan Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thank you for checking in with us! It gives me warm fuzzies. Pogo's home now. He's not too happy, but resting at the moment. I was sure he'd have to wear the cone of shame, but no. His eye just looks barely red where the growth was removed. He has a few stitches at the point where one ear meets his forehead, and a bunch of yucky and slightly weepy stitches on the inside of one knee. Those are going to be the most painful, I'm sure. When I went to pick him up, they had a bag with his growths, each in a sample jar, on the counter. I had to look! Kinda of yuck, but pretty interesting. The eye one was teensy, just a little black-red goo-blob. One (from his knee?) was biggish, and looked almost like they'd pinched up the skin and snipped it off with scissors. I didn't get a good look at the third. Kind of funny thing. I was making some lunch, and got a phone call from a client. I **heard** him say that he was the vet calling from the hospital! He asked me if I'd gotten his email, and I was all a-flutter to get back to my computer, and asked him, "No, were you taking pictures of his thing?" He just said, "What? No ..." and went on with his subject, during which I finally got that it was NOT the vet. "Were you taking pictures of his thing?" Oh my. Good thing he was too self-absorbed to notice how self-absorbed I was and totally take that the wrong way!!

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same.
