Keegan is having surgery. *happy snow pix added*

[shais_mom]

Keegan is having surgery on Tues Jan 6th. I have to take her and drop her off at 830am. She has a lump I found the beginning of November that is getting bigger. Slow growing. Its on the corner of her leg and chest (human=armpit). I'm hoping and praying it will be nothing.
She is also going to have her teeth cleaned while she's under. For the first time.
Keegan and her momma could use some positive thoughts. I was pretty low-key about it but now that its down to the wire, I'm getting nervous.
Thanks!

Here's some pics of my Big Red Dog I took over Thanksgiving weekend - we spent it at my parents cottage in MI.

I was only just thinking of you and Keegan recently Staci. Lots of good vibes on the way for you and the BRD.

[zippy-kat]

:love: Keeping you in my thoughts, as always!

[Cincy'sMom]

Those are great pictures!

Hope everything goes well Tuesday. I understand your anxiety...Ciny's surgery is Friday. I hadn't thought too much about it when I scheduled it in November, but this week I am getting really nervous!!

[wolf_Q]

I'll be keeping Keegan in my thoughts tomorrow! I know how it is worrying about them...I'm taking Skya to be spayed today...routine surgery but it still makes me nervous. I hope that everything will go well for Keegan and the lump is nothing serious. I love the new photos of her, she looks gorgeous in the snow! :love:

[Taz_Zoee]

I will keep this beautiful girl in my thoughts until I hear she is home where she belongs. I know how nerve wracking it can be for your baby to be in surgery. But I will just hope that everything goes well and the lump is nothing to worry about.
She'll probably get to come home that night, right? (I hope.)

Prayers & positive thoughts for beautiful Keegan. I hope all goes
smoothly with good results.

[shais_mom]

Thanks everyone!
I'm *hoping* she will get to come home on Tuesday - it will depend on how she wakes up from the drugs. I wouldn't be surprised if she has to have a cone as well b/c its in a spot she can get to it.
I'll keep this thread updated as I can. :D
**kisses and hugs**

[cyber-sibes]

Add some more prayers coming from the East Coast for our favorite reddog girl! And (((hugs))) for you, Staci. :) We'll be sending her sibe vibes tomorrow!

[Zippy]

Your pretty girl Keegan will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Good thoughts and prayers on the way for ms Keegan! She's such a pretty girl!:love:

[Daisy and Delilah]

Thoughts and prayers going out to both of you right away, Staci!!!! Kisses to that pretty girl for me please. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
I love the snow pics!!!:D

[lvpets2002]

[pitc9]

Great Pictures! :D

[anna_66]

Lots of love, hugs and good thoughts for Keegan's surgery tomorrow.
Wonderful pictures Staci! Keegan looks like she's having a wonderful time:D
(((HUGS))) to you both.

[K9karen]

Sorry I just saw this, Stace. It's Tuesday already, so I'll be praying and thinking about my favorite BRD (and you). Fingers crossed that her lump is nothing serious. Please keep us posted as soon as you can. I'll be antsy until then.

Logie and I :love: you both.

ps.. the *spot the ball in the snow* photo sure brought back memories of my big 'ole galoot, Cody. At the spring thaw, I'd find about 6 tennis balls!!!

[zippy-kat]

You're probably at the vets while I'm typing this. Just wanted to know that extra prayers are headed your way. :love:

[Logan]

Sending my best wishes and prayers to our Big Red Girl on a successful surgery today! I'll be watching for your updates, Staci. Try not to worry too much!!!

Logan, Honey, Mack and Ben

[shais_mom]

well I dropped an UNhappy BRD at the vet. She tried to pull the tech out with me.
I'm to call around 1ish.
gonna be a long day!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Staci, I'm with you and your girl. I know it's so hard. I just had to leave Delilah last week for a bone check. It seemed like a week before I could go get her. I'll check back for an update. I'm sending thoughts and prayers. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

[Cinder & Smoke]

:)

The BRD is HOME Again!! :)

NOT *Happie* --- but HOME and with a GOOD post-sir jury report!! :)

She has about a 2" Zipper and one less "fatty tumor - BENIGN". :cool:

Vet was positive it was harmless - but it's gone, so ebberbuddie can *breathe* again.

She's wearing a T-shirt at the moment, but has a desire to :eek: *LICK* the Zipper -
so the E-collar supplied by the clinic will probably be installed at bed tyme.

The really BAD news is NO snowball/tennieball chasing for 10 daze -
gonne be one mitey UN-happie BRD. :(

So, THANKS, God - and all the PTers who sent PT Prayers and Good Vibes -
mission accomplished!

And WHY isn't Mz Staci spinnin this yarn ...
The NEW 'Puter isn't *quite* ready to roll ... one more setback and it might NEVER
see the light of day!
Seems there's been a missing monitor to CPU cable problem - involving
MANY trips to/from Wally's World, several other vendors, and a finally
helpful guy who found a suitable adaptor.
All ready to hook-em-up - when our Fearless Puter Mom discovers the
Final Straw ... when returning the First Monitor ... the 'puter's AC Power Cord
jumped into the monitor box - and has been "returned" to Wally! :mad:

A verry UN-happie Miz Staci is now enroute back to Wally's Joint, to (hopefully)
find the original monitor - to remove it's "extra" power cord.

Consider it a very GOOD Sign if we hear from Keegan's Mom sometime tonight.

Good Luck, Staci!! :D
Keegan - PLEASE behave tonight - Mom's about outta 'patience'!

{{{Hugs}}}

[wolf_Q]

I'm glad to hear that Keegan made it out of surgery ok! I'll be keeping you both in my thoughts (good luck with the computer!). I know how fun it is trying to keep them still...at least you don't have two other dogs wanting to play with her. :rolleyes:

[cyber-sibes]

Good to hear Keegan is home, & things sound pretty good for her. Will say a little 'puter prayer for Staci!

[Grace]

Just coming across this post now. I'm so glad to hear that Keegan came through with flying colors. Now if Staci's computer could be up and running as well.

Thanks for the update Phred.

[shais_mom]

hi all!
what a day!
i have a happy girl here at home.
I have a new computer up and running and I ONLY went to walmart 4 times, staples once and best buy once.
in 3 different towns! :mad:
but alas
what's important is my BRD is FINE and doesn't have any sign of anything nasty.
it took 2 people to let me into the room - one holding the BRD and one holding the door open so she wouldn't go flying out of the door! especially when she heard my voice.
Head vet - whose known Keegan since a wee pup just shook his head and said - can't tell she's been under general anesthia today huh?
:) and said she did just great! had her teeth cleaned but that didn't take much they said - thanks to the raw diet.
right now she's wearing a boy's t-shirt that says "acting like I'm nice" found on the Christmas clearance rack at one of the many wally trips today - for the sum of $1.21! :D
thank you all for the prayers - we sure appreciate them!

[jennielynn1970]

Sorry I missed that Keegan had surgery. I don't get to dog general that often.

I'm glad she is acting happy and that she came out of surgery ok! Hope that they find the lump is nothing to be worried about.

Hugs to you, and to Keegan!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm glad to hear everything went well. Thank you Phred for the first update. Kudos on your bravery , Staci. Not only for getting through this so far but making so many trips to Wal-Mart!! What a nightmare. I'm glad that gorgeous girl is doing well. Best of luck in keeping her quiet. It's a big challenge for sure.

Feel better Pretty Girl!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}:)

wow did i miss alot, and as i'm reading thru this, i'm glad to get to the end and find that alls well in upper sandusky. happy dance!

[K9karen]

Lots of :love::love: on the BRD! Love her T-shirt..perfect shade of green..a fashion diva she is!

OMG! Keegan is so much like RB Cody, who nearly tore the groomers arm off when I dropped him off. He also ripped the door frame (they leashed him around the door handle in the back instead of cage him) when he saw me. I was *politely* told not to come back. What can I say? A mommy's boy!

So relieved and happy Keegan's icky was benign.

but Keegan loves the groomer and she loves her. She's not so sure when I leave her but she is ok once I'm gone.

Glad to hear all went well!:)

[beeniesmom]

Glad that the surgery was a success.

[4 Dog Mother]

I am just reading about this now, Staci and I am glad things came out well for our Keegan girl! And you finally got your computer up and running (nice looking one at that!). Home life is crazy with Brian home on month's leave and got called to Tiffin yesterday that my mom was in hospital in bad condition (she has asthma and they thought caught pnuemonia too). Nights have been the worst for her when things have been getting weird adn the reports have been confusing. So my sister and I stayed the night to see what was really happening. I'm getting a breather tonight but will go back tomorrow. Doctors and hospitals, how irritating!

Give Miss Keegan a hug from her other grandma. We need to get plans togethe for another get together soon. Calgon (Pet talk friends) take me away!

[dukedogsmom]

I missed it, too. I'm so glad she's doing well! Those tumors are scary things. I love that shirt. Too cute. And I enjoyed the snow pics at the very beginning. She really looked like she was enjoying it.

[Zippy]

Glad to hear that Keegan is doing well.She looks adorable in her shirt. :)

[shais_mom]

thanks friends!
Amy had txted me about your mom and I was keeping my fingers crossed. Asthma is a very scary thing. :(
a get together should be in the works asap!

[Cinder & Smoke]

:)

The really BAD news is NO snowball/tennieball chasing for 10 daze -
gonne be one mitey UN-happie BRD. :(

Oh my ... there's gonna be an UNhappie BRD when she takes a peek out the
window and sees a huge BIG pile of *S*N*O*W* in the yard that she's
not supposed to *romp* in. :( :mad:

How's the recovery process coming along?

[shais_mom]

The t-shirt is working beautifully! I took it off tonight to check the incision and wash the shirt.
She really wants to be out there of course but I have to be a mean mommy!

[RipplingWaves55]

Keegan.. don't worry your mom okay? Get better soon. :love: You are gorgeous as usual and we hope it's nothing too serious. Please don't worry us PT members.. keep us updated! :)

[shais_mom]

thanks! :D
i took the t-shirt off her last night to wash it and to cut the arms b/c they were too long and out in the snow her legs got caught in them and she couldn't move. And in the time I had it off she licked the incision bloody. :rolleyes:
But I put it back on her so she's fine now. But really wants out in all the snow we had but I won't let her. Now she's running from window to window and door b/c my neighbor is shoveling my walk and his son plowed my drive. And she can't see what's goin on outside! :D

:eek:

Dodn't you remember Mini~Mutt's stunts with her foot wrapper?
Take da Cone off for dinner and a little "relaxin" ...
and 20 minutes later she'd trott past :eek: BARE-Footin it! :mad:

Just keep da Cone on - and tell da KATs to keep their distance from Kone-Head! :p

Heidi wore toddler's sleevless Tee-shirts to keep her from *lickin* the bare spot on her back -
and more than a few times she got tangled up and had to *hop* back
to me on 2 & 1/2 legs - quite the carnival act! :cool:

Don't Fret, Keeg - there'll be more *S*N*O*W* to play in!
:)

[shais_mom]

:eek::

Just keep da Cone on - and tell da KATs to keep their distance from Kone-Head! :p

:)

:confused::confused::confused::confused:she hasn't worn the cone yet - :confused::confused::confused: are you thinking of Cincy?
and at this point with the t-shirt working so well I'm NOT putting it on her. I may look for another t-shirt when I venture to Walmart today. But she gets her stitches out on Thursday so hopefully she leaves it alone until then.

[Karen]

Poor Keegan - baby, I feel your pain, having all that snow and mean old mommy not letting you go play in it. But really, it's for the best, and there will be more snow when you are all better, okay? Momma is just mean because she loves :love::love::love: her big red dog!

[cyber-sibes]

But but but..... a dog just has to take full advantage of snow! ~Star & Jack
Glad to hear she's doing alright, and she does look adorable in green! Congrats on your new 'puter, Staci!

[chocolatepuppy]

Poor Keegan! It won't be long sweetie until you can play in the snow!:)

[ramanth]

Glad Keegan is well! I love seeing her covered in snow. :D :love:

[ChrisH]

Glad to read the tumour was benign and all is good with your beautiful girl. :D

[cmayer31]

I'm so glad to hear that Keegan is doing better. Too bad all the snow has to go an tease her, but Thursday is right around the corner and she'll be rolling around in no time :). I hope she leaves her stitches alone until the white coats can take them out.

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Glad to hear Keegan is doing well.

[shais_mom]
