Small Growth On Eyelid - Surgery Update Post 26


Recommended Posts

Surgery Update - We are home from the vet!

 

Rocket had a long day at the vet, but is doing great! He is home and resting on one of his favorite old beds and nesting places . As I wrote this he just got up and moved to the slumber ball. Now he moved back to the old bed - Goldilocks syndrome.... :bgeorge

Today's lesson is to never assume anything!

 

The "little pimple" that we figured was a small fatty tumor ended up being a huge tumor. Even the vet who originally screened him could barely feel the bump, and the tech this morning couldn't find it at all. When we picked him up, we found that the tumor was rather large and apparently deep, as he has a large shaved area with staples. Picture below. We will wait for the lab results and have paws crossed that it is "B9" as the kids in the chat club say.

The cyst on the eyelid was removed and he has just a little redness there.

 

His Dental went well. At 10 years old he only needed some tartar scaling and a polishing. Toofers look awesome! No extractions! :mexi2:guns:pepper

Thanks to everyone for their feedback and well wishes. Keep those paws crossed for benign lab results.

Another update about pathology.

 

DW talked with the vet today when they called to check on Rocket. Even though the plan was to send the tumor out for pathology, the surgeon decided against sending it out because she was not at all concerned with about it. It may have been more of a cyst than a tumor, but whatever it was, the surgeon sees them all the time and they are not of a concern. We'll take it!

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
