Sugar procedure; HOME, #12; Biopsy #18 :)

[Freedom]

Could I please have some prayers for my Sugar Dugar?

Tomorrow morning I take her in for the wash removal of that darn nasal polyp. Yup, it is back again. This will be the 3rd time having it removed. Every 2 years, it seems. She is pretty miserable with it at this point, no air can get in her right nostril at all, her left nostril is estimated at about 1/2 open. So she has to breathe through her mouth alot. And of course the mucous causes the gagging and choking. Had her in this afternoon to the Specialist for the review, lab work, seems we are good to go.

If he has time, he will also clean her teeth. Mouth breathing creates a LOT of tartar.

I should be able to pick her up tomorrow afternoon / evening.

Prayers headed Sugars way.

Poor Sugar, hope everything goes well tomorrow!

[K9karen]

AW, poor Sugar Wugar. She sounds so miserable. A cloggy nose sucks. I know she'll be so relieved after the procedure. And have nice clean teethies to boot. I sure will be thinking of Sugar and mommie tomorrow. (Tell The Wills to behave himself why you're out!)

Prayers for both Sugar and you. Hope they can get her back to feeling her spunky little self.

Sugar is HOME, doing her bouncing walk, doing "construction" to get her blankets just so. Apparently she started construction as soon as she woke from the anesthesia, had everyone quite amused at the hospital. She has antibiotics and pain pills for the next few days, limited activity (being as she is 14, this just MAY be possible! LOL).

So this time they found a large pink growth, not a polyp. Will have it biopsied, results due next Wednesday. It was blocking more than 90% of her nasal cavity, so they aren't sure how she was breathing through her nose at all! Were able to remove at least 75% of it.

She did have a dental, 3 teeth removed, plus one molar that was infected. 4 teeth removed in all.

Here nasal passages will be raw from the procedure so she will sound congested for 2 to 3 days, but will be breathing much better after that. She has already eaten, had a drink and a pee and now getting blankets organized for a nice nap.

Thank you ALL OF YOU for the support! I'll update next week when we get the biopsy results.

[pomtzu]

Yay - so glad she's feeling somewhat spunky, in spite of her traumatic day. (Sparky does the construction thing too) :) Prayers continue that it will be a favorable biopsy.

Rest Miss Pretty Ears, and make sure Mum waits on you hand and paw! :love:

[chocolatepuppy]

Good to hear Sugar's home! Continued prayers for her speedy recovery.:)

[K9karen]

Many prayers that the mass isn't serious. I know I'll be waiting anxiously.

Meantime, soft, gentle kisses on Sugar. What a brave baby girl.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm just seeing this thread now.:o I'm glad to hear that her surgery went well and that she was also able to have her teeth cleaned. I hope she makes a speedy recovery and that her biopsy results will be good ones.:)

[Freedom]

Thanks everyone. Sugar had a good night, not chortling, ALL of us got some rest!

[Freedom]

Got the biopsy results for Sugar, and it is still BENIGN! WOO HOO!!

I've been worried this time, as it was so much larger, and did not look at all the same, to the specialist.

Sugar is still chortling a bit, I mentioned this to the vet on the phone just now. He said it was quite a bit larger, and there was a lot more swelling, so she will take more time to heal this time around.

Attaching a photo of her from this morning. She came with us this morning for our farm walk. Left her home twice and she was so unhappy to stay behind. So when I told her OKAY! this morning she bounced about in a circle, lol

[pomtzu]

Yay Sugar - that's great news. We're all so happy for you - and for Mum and Dad too! :) Now go and enjoy those walks at the farm, but try not to sniff the ground too much and get stuff up your sensitive little nose. :eek::D

[cassiesmom]

Yay, Sugar! I'm glad you were able to join in the walk! I hope the swelling comes down soon.

Hugs and lovies for you and for Lacey, Tasha, Marlin and Willy too :)

[K9karen]

Boy I love good news!! Yay! That Sugar's gonna be OK. Glad she had a great time on her walkies!

[krazyaboutkatz]

This is wonderful news!!!:D

[Pinot's Mom]

Great news! Yay Sugar!! :)

[Freedom]

Thanks, everyone! I am quite relieved.

[Catty1]

Now go and enjoy those walks at the farm, but try not to sniff the ground too much and get stuff up your sensitive little nose.

I'm just picturing Sugar with a little surgical mask on her face! :D

Glad all went well. :):love:

[Freedom]

O too funny!!!! :D

[3Catcondo]

I just saw this thread, I'm so glad she is doing good and that it was benign. Thank goodness!! Please give all of the fur clan loving from me.
