Thread: Ramone is in surgery...*possible scary update post 27*

    Ramone is in surgery...*possible scary update post 27*

    About a month ago I noticed a lump on Ramone. It was small and looked just like the cyst on Em's back so I just kept an eye on it. Then a couple weeks ago it changed and got pretty big and hard. So last week I took him into the vet to have it looked at. We did a cytology on it to see what it could be. The vet said it was a funky looking lump. The cytology came back showing spindle cells. She said that spindle cells can be caused by certain kinds of tumors and said we need to get it off of him. So I just got back from dropping him off at the vet. They are hoping to remove the lump fully, but if they can't they will at least get a good sized sample to send away. They may not be able to get it all because of it's location. Its on his back at the base of his stubby, probably the only place on his whole body where he doesn't have a ton of loose skin.
    They will call me when he is out of surgery and I can go pick him up.

    I hope it is nothing serious. And I will be thinking of Ramone until he gets home with you.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Just got off the phone with the vet. She apologized for not phoning sooner but she had a couple of emergency surgeries. They were able to remove the whole lump and everything went well. I can go pick him up anytime after 4. She said he was already up and wagging his stubby, even though there are sutures right above it. I laughed and said if his stubby ever stops then it is time to say good bye to him.
    She said they will send the lump away and that it could take a week to get the results back and that they will call as soon as they get them.
    Yay. 15 more minutes and I will be on my way to go pick up the jerky cement head. Will update with a pic of his owie when we get home.

    Well $410 later... we are home... good thing that boy has a job so he can pay for this himself... :lol:
    He pulled the vet tech out from the back once he recognized us. Before he saw us though he was just trying to pull her around to smell things. The vet and staff were calling him a wild child... ops: :roll:
    Now that he is home though and in a place where he feels is safe he is still pretty out of it. Much different than the last time he had to be put under.
    I was suprised by the size of the wound. And if I was suprised then I know Cam was about ready to fall over.

    Anyways here is his owie bum.







    I think he has the same ammount of jowly skin as a real sized rottweiler...



    He's so tired his eye is droopy...



    *Thanks Ashley*

    Hope the Boy heals up quickly and pain-free.

    And - THANKS, God!!
