Cincy girl is having another lump removed. This one is a large marble sized, and fairly hard on the outside of her left rear leg. The vet didn't like the look of it, and wanted it off, so today is the day. She is there now and I should have an update around noon.
Please keep the baby girl in your thoughts this morning! She's a trooper, but it doesn't make me worry any less!
Cincy will be in my thoughts. Will be watching for an update.
Prayers for a successful surjury & quick recovery for Cincy & (((Hugs)))
for mom.
Well that didn't take long....
The vet just called and Cincy is out of surgery and waking up well.
He did not like the looks of the growth at all and will be sending it out for pathology. Gross examination he felt it was a neuroma (nerve tumor) which from what I am reading can be either benign or malignant. We should hear something by the end of the week, so please keep the prayers up!
You tell Cincy I had a neuroma - acoustic neuroma in my case - and they removed it and I am fine. Deaf in that ear, and wobbly when tired, but otherwise fine!
THANKS, God!Quote:

Good to hear Cincy did well. I will keep her in my prayers.
Glad to hear the surgery went well. Now I'll be hoping the results of the growth come back with good news.
You have my prayers that this is nothing to worry about!!!
Amy, I hope and pray that everything is fine with Cincy. I'm glad she came through with no problems. We'll be keeping her in our prayers.

Waiting is so hard! I hope that it is something that is not serious and she will be just fine.
Sending sibe vibes to Cincy! Hope our little Toledo pupfriend heals up quickly & the test comes back benign.
prayers and vibes on the way! :p:love::love::love:
My thoughts and prayers are coming that way. {{{{{HUGS FOR ALL}}}}}
Get Better Cincy!!!:)
Lots of prayers and good vibes for Cincy!! :love:
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. Cincy is doing well...relaxing mostly tonight. I only fed her 1/2 her dinner, and she has not begged for more, so you know she isn't feeling exactly there yet!
Ralph said when he bought her home, Sadie brought a tennis ball and dropped it by her. It is amazing how in tune the 3 of them are with each other!
Amy I'm glad she's home and doing fine. I'll be saying a prayer that the test comes back benign.
(((HUGS))) to Cincy
OMGoodness, that is sooo cute! :D More prayers going out that it is nothing serious.Quote:

That was very sweet of Sadie! Your dogs are very close- I am sure they know when one isn't feeling well and needs the extra sympathy.
Get better, Cincy - Grandma loves you!
I did find the collar. She was really too out of it to bother it too much last evening so we didn't put it on until close to bed time. She was more alert this morning, she had not bothered it at all overnight. Last night before bed it was looking a little swollen, just from her walking around and trauma in general, but this morning, after her being off it all night, it was looking really good. Ralph didn't mentioned anything when I talked to him a few hours ago, so I assume she is being good....Quote:

Late, but, heartfelt prayers coming your way!
Cincy is still doing well...she isn't thrilled about the E-collar while we are gonet o work, but doesn't seem to mind the no-bite in the evenings. She is wanting to play, but they said she couldn't return to "normal" activity levels for 3 days...I guess that means tonight I can let her loose!
I did feel like a bad mommy this morning when I realized I had not given her any pain meds...but she certainly has not acted at all like she has needed them, jumping on and off the bed and couch, and trying to chase Spot! She is a tough little thing!
Still waiting to hear results of the biopsy...
Glad to hear she's doing so well, here's hoping the biopsy comes back clean!
Good thing Heidi didn't trade notes with Cincy at the last Gathurin aboutQuote:

While wearing a "regular sized" E-Collar, Heidi learned how to lay down, curl up,

I can't remember how many times we returned to the Clinic for re-wraps of a naked foot! :mad:
The "fix" was the Techs moved her up one size in E-collars ...
It was *HUGE* compared to the size of the Mutt!
Hang in there, Cincy!
And try not to *lick* when the Hoomins are *watchin*!
:D
I've been keeping an eye on this thread and had Cincy in my thoughts. Glad to see she is doing well. :D Keep it up girl!
We got the results from the vet today...although we have not spoken with him we had a message, and the news was not as good as we hoped. Cincy does have cancer, a Grade II Hemangiopericytoma. The good news it is locialized (does not often dpread) and genreally slow growing. The bad news is they did not get it all, and it does have a high rate of reoccurance.
So, the message he left is that he is recommending we wait about a month, let the area heal, then go back in and try to get the rest. We have an appointment to get her staples out a week from tomorrow, so if not before I am sure we will talk to him in much more detail then.
From what I am reading online, a Grade I or Grade II is a managable long term. I don't know what degree of treatment she may need (and I am sure it depends on how succesful the next surgery is), but radiation, chemo or amputation may be eventual options or consideratons. Another thing we have to factor in with her is an enlarged heart, and while she has shown no signs of issues with anethesia so far, I don't honestly know if radiation, which requires daily treaments for 2-3 weeks will be a viable option for her.
Whatever the case, we will do what we can to keep her as happy and healthy as we can! So please keep up those prayers a more succeful operation next go round!

(((hugs))) to you from all of us.
Oh no, not the news I was hoping for. You and Cincy will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers!!
More thoughts and prayers going out for Cincy and all the family. I will pray really hard that they're able to get it all in the next surgery and she makes a complete recovery. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
{{{{HUGS}}}}} and prayers to you all!
I hope they can go back in and get it all next time!
Oh boy, I wish the news was better. Poor Cincy. But, she'll endure this and may be just fine after the second surgery:
My Oreo had a similar kind of non-metastasizing (local), slow-growth cancer in her front leg in 2004. And like Cincy, the first surgery didn't get clear margins. We did the exact same thing--wait 30 days, and then have another surgery to take a wider sample to get any remaining bad cells and very clear margins. This worked--it hasn't grown back in 4 years.
I hope that this is what happens for your Cincy as well. I'll be thinking of you and her over the next month. It seems like a long time to wait, doesn't it? :)Hang in there, and give Cincy a big hug. :love:
I'm very sorry to hear this news. I hope that they will be able to get all of it in the next surgery and that will be the end of it. Thinking of you and Cincy! :love:
My prayers blessings and love to Cincy and her mom , I hope all is well.Quote:

But hopefully like Kona & Oreo's mom said, she'll have the other surgery and it won't come back.
We'll be saying prayers for you, Ralph and Cincy.
