2greyhoundMINI Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Our June went into the vet this morning to have a large mass on her hind leg removed and biopsied. Preliminary blood work shows no issues, but that never shows the whole story. Thx for any good vibes, thoughts, prayers you send our way and to June.

2greyhoundMINI Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thx everyone.... no word yet from the vet- they said she may not go into surgery until this afternoon. I will post an update when I hear something.

2greyhoundMINI Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Well I got an update: 1. She made it through the surgery. 2. ODD: there was NO sign of a tumor or growth what-so-ever.... The huge mass is her thigh muscle. But it's 2x the size of the other one. They still took a biopsy and are sending it out to completely rule out the C word. The strange thing is she hasn't been limping, or showing ANY signs of pain or discomfort. Her energy level and activity (running, on walks, etc) has been the same. And the initial physical by the doctors showed she was in no pain and had full movement. So good news so far (even though very odd). I will update again once the final tests come back. Thank you all again for the well wishes. It's been a very long day waiting to hear.

2greyhoundMINI Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 June is home... the incision is fairly long, but not terrible. She will be on painkillers/anti-inflammatories for 2 weeks and that's when her sutures will come out. My husband took off the next few days so he could be home with her, and then we go into the weekend, so that's good. They were very thorough taking several samples for biopsy. I just hope we don't have to wait too long to get the results. I will post when we get them.

2greyhoundMINI Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Thanks! 1st night with the cone of shame went well... I devised a system- I attach it to the harness. No way that thing is coming off! She seemed her usual self this morning... all smiles and wanting to sprint out the door.

Neighsayer Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Hope she heals up soon. She might be more comfortable with a bite to collar instead of the cone. You can make one with a bath towel and vet wrap. Fold towel in thirds lengthwise and wrap around neck. Secure with vet wrap. No cone over her head, but she can't turn her neck enough to get at the iincision. Edited September 15, 2017 by Neighsayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make one with a bath towel and vet wrap. Fold towel in thirds lengthwise and wrap around neck. Secure with vet wrap. No cone over her head, but she can't turn her neck enough to get at the iincision. Luckily my husband has been off and home with her all day so she gets a break from the cone while we are awake. I swear she'd figure out a way to pull that towel off. Wishing June a rapid recovery. If you happened to take photos of her thighs, any chance of posting here? Unfortunately I didn't take any before photos. Now wouldn't matter since her leg is swollen from the surgery itself. Hopefully after the anti-inflammatories it's not swollen anymore.
