UPdate on Ellie-mae...

Thank you my dear friends,well she is at the vets as i type this, poor wee thing, she knew this morning within seconds that something was up, she was stressing and trying to get out, and putting her in the cage was almost impossible, she sure tried hard not to go in there, got the scratches to prove it.

I was a total mess blubbering at the vets,(gosh i just get so emotional these days ugh!) thank goodness it was only Dianne the receptionist there, she is lovely and so compassionate,anyhow my vet rang me later when he arrived to discuss it, i had told him if he felt the dental was enough to put her through and he thought it not such a good idea to go ahead with the removal of the tumour, i would be ok with that, he suggested he do the dental and he will ring me while in surgery, after feeling the tumour and tell me what he thinks and i can decide for sure, that makes me feel a whole lot better, i trust his judgement and will make the decision based on that.


He is very reassuring and i appreciate him doing this, as it is removing the tumour that has me so concerned, i am ok with the dental, that has to be done,worried about complications and that will be too hard on Ellie, she is already health compromised and high risk.

Well that is it for now, will keep you posted as and when i hear anything, again thanks for the wonderful support, could not do this without you all.:love::love::love:

God bless you, Carole and Ellie-mae and your wonderful vet. May all go well for all of you with this.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Getting Halo to the vet was a pretty similar experience. She cried like her heart was breaking. She never, ever scratched me but she did pee on me a time or two. :(

Don't you just wish you could explain to Ellie-Mae that you're doing this for her own good? I just wish we could make them understand.

Continued prayers for you all. All her Aunties are pacing the floor with you until your baby is back home.

oh Lisa ain't that just the truth, i so wish she could understand, and the thing is she is so scared of us when she comes home, and tries like mad to get outside, drives me crazy.

Just heard from my vet,all is going really well, dental done, he has taken out snapped off roots, i think that is what he said, and she is doing really well under the anesthetic,so yes the tumour is also coming out, he said not too big a job, poor wee girl, aww i feel so sorry for her, big day, but hopefully she will recover well and this will make a huge difference to her life, hope her aunties are now feeling more relaxed as i am.

Paws still crossed here for little Ellie Mae!:love:

Sending good thoughts your way that Ellie-Mae will be as good as new when she returns home from surgery and that she will recover quickly. I know what it's like to be a nervous wreck, as I was that way about Cricket this past weekend. That's normal for us animal lovers.. :love::)

thank you i am glad to hear i am not the only one who feels this way, i was beginning to think i was becoming a neurotic pet owner lol.

I have news and it is GOOD NEWS, vet just rang me all went well, he took the third gland as there were some tiny seeds, but this is the AMAZING news, he did not think it was cancerous, and that had we left it could have easily turned in to cancer, i can hardly believe it, i had accepted i was just going to loose my baby and probably soon,now she is going to be ok, and i am so glad i went ahead with the operation, it was worth all the worry and sleepless nights, we still have the recovery process to go through, so fingers and all paws crossed and keep those prayers a coming please, that all will go well.

I am just so HAPPY, and relieved, i just can't believe it really, isn't it awesome.

Again thank you to everyone who stopped by and took the time to post and of course the fairy godmothers Lisa and Donna who will be as happy as i am.

It was just good to hear that everything went so well, that helps, i know i have one of the best vets in the world,and i am so fortunate.

I am so happy to hear the news about Ellie Mae's tumor. Soon she'll be back in your care. And she'll continue to heal.

It's okay to worry. I do it all the time for the critters.

OH!!! I am so happy to hear this good news!! Get well soon, little one. No Cancer! Hurray!!!!!!:love::D

How wonderful! And your vet sounds just perfect in his caring and concern for Ellie-Mae and her mom. :love:

Prayers that Ellie-Mae heals quickly at home, and that her quality of life improves tremendously!:)

Yay Ellie-Mae!
Sending everyone lots of hugs.....

I'm so glad to hear that everything went well and that her tumor isn't cancerous.:) I'm sending prayers and positive thoughts for an easy and speedy healing process. I also hope that her quality of life will improve and that she'll be with you for quite a while yet. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I have just been to see Ellie, she will be staying overnight at the vets, she is totally spaced out on the drugs, i could not believe my eyes, poor wee thing, looks like she has been to hell and back, it was major surgery, her mouth was so bad, he had to drill out the roots which were broken,but the tooth was still intact,she has stitches in her mouth and now only has the fangs and incisors left, but yes i am hoping this will indeed make a huge improvement in her life, she has a big shaven bit and the cut is quite large, for the tumour, but oh so neat, what a great job he has done.

She has a drip in her leg, which she is trying to pull out and her morephine patch which explains why she is in la la land.

poor wee girl has had a rough time, but i am sure i have done the right thing now and feeling much better.

She will be coming home tomorrow and i hope to take some pics for you.

A huge thanks to everyone here, you are the BEST EVER.

I think i have the best vet in the whole wide world,so compassionate, caring, understanding and so good at his job.

Oh, thank you for the wonderful news, Carole!

Prayers of gratitude that the surgery has gone so well, and prayers for a comfortable recovery for Ellie-mae and you too, Carole!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

I am so glad she came through this so well, and will feel even BETTER than before!:):):love::love:

Will she be on a pain patch at home? I hope your vet gives her a long-acting antibiotic shot, cause she won't want pills for a while.

Your vet sounds like an absolute gem! Wow!:)

Looking forward to pics!
