From her family: Shorty had the surgery yesterday and I was at the hospital all day. Besides the mastectomy, Dr Goldstein removed three mast cell tumors on the side; these tumors could have burst any time and because the huge accumulation of blood vessels in the area, they would have killed Shorty. The surgery was tough and it took 2 and a half hours. At one point Dr Goldstein thought he had to put her to sleep but he kept working and managed to put it all together. I saw the mammary tumor that was taken out; it weighed almost 3 pounds. Dr Goldstein can't believe how strong Shorty is and able to survive such a long and risky surgery. I saw Shorty after the surgery was over and was waking up. She's doing remarcably well. The surgery may go over $1,800 because the mast cell tumor was removed and a vet tech had to stay with her last night. I hope we can raise the money to pay for it.
