Belle is 8 y.o. She had a tumor, a histiocytoma, develop on her side, behind her front leg. These tend to be benign; they also usually spontaneously disappear within 3 months.
Well, what with all my surgeries, this thing was around 17 months. From Feb to August it grew from 1 cm to 3 cm. So it had to be removed. Surgery was Thursday. Belle has to be confined for 10 days to allow the incision site to heal. I have her in the x-pen in the living room with pee pads, water bowl, and 2 beds. She is wearing an ecollar. And I have to take her out on leash so she just not dash about, play with Frankie, and so on. We will have the lab report the end of next week.
The first pics show this tumor in January.
Then a pic when she first got home, still groggy from the anesthesia.
And 2 pics of her outside; you can see the incision in those.
She is taking Tramadol morning and night and doing well; though she is not happy that she can't sleep in the bed with us yet. I need to wait until touching her side is not going to hurt her at all.
Well, it seems I can not upload files at this time.
