STAR'S surgery-- She's home!

Diana, I'm so glad to hear Jack is on the mend! Yes, we like Dr. Freeman very much. :p
I asked if the lump was sent out, and the vet tech told me not in this case, he thinks it was a corn or something like that. After is got all red & swollen 2 weeks ago, it shrank back down to almost nothing, smaller than it's been for several years. I'm glad they removed it, as it was really bothering her when it was swollen. I looked at the site tonight, it's a little hole in her pad. It looks wet, but it's not oozing. I'll keep checking it.

It was a nice surprise that the bill was quite a bit lower than I expected! I still have enough left to send Sherman in to have his toofies cleaned, too!

Yippee!!
Glad to hear she's home and that the bill was lower than expected!!
Isn't that the best thing in the world?!?! :D

Wishing her a speedy recovery!!

That was my thought too. :) I'll bet Sherman just can't wait. :D

Heal quickly Star and leave that paw alone. :D

I'm glad all is well! Welcome home, Star!


Good luck, Sherman!

I am so glad to hear that things went well. I've been thinking about yous all week. Give her a big fat kiss from me please. hugs

Star, please let that paw heal, okay? I was thinking about you and Sherman yesterday. Now that the weather is getting warmer, are you going to have a B-I-G shedding of your heavy winter coats?

Oh yes, the spring shed is well underway! :rolleyes:
Star is doing alright. She kept rubbing her face with her paw yesterday, I think maybe it hurt a little where they took out her tooth. She's taking pain meds & an antibiotic for ten days, and is playing "Jaws of steel" with me. it takes quite a bit of convincing to get her to open up so I can get a pill in the back of her mouth far enough that she won't spit it out. After a few minutes she gives up & lets me, silly girl. i'm not too sure what's going on with her paw, she only seems to lick it sometimes. It doesn't look too different now thatn before the surgery, I'm hoping as it heals the swelling will go down.

I'm glad that Star made it through the surgery ok (and even better that she only had to lose one tooth!). I hope she continues to recover, oh, and she should tell her mom that we need new pics of her and her brother. ;)
