yupper the Big Red Tennis Ball retriever is home!
She keep trying to get to the tube but its just far enough away that she can't get to it hopefully she'll figger it out and leave it alone.
The shaved area is rather large 10 inches by 6 inches or so, with 2 incisions. It was simply a large abcess a result of a fatty tumor that had walled itself off and came to a head and caused a large pocket of infection. There was no need to send it to biopsy to see if it was malignant or anything.
She is too be restricted for 7 days - (acck) and is to go back to the vet on Monday to have the tube removed (hopefully) There was some drainage when we got home on her skin.
Thanks everyone for the continued well wishes!
I'll get some pics of her when I get home from work or tomorrow -

Welcome Home, BRD!
Sounds like your TB Retrieving will put on hold for a few days.

Let's hope the BRD doesn't recruit one of the KatSis to try to pull the drain tube!

Hope The Neighbor can drop in tonight to check on her.
Prayers Continue for a Speedie Recovery.

I'm glad to hear Keagan is back home, I suppose the worst is over now, right? You've been a brave girl and I think a few treats are in order.

Keep getting better, Keagan - and leave that tube alone!

Yeowzers, that a big spot! Keegan, you're still one big beautiful girl! And your fur will start growing back in no time. Might be a bit "breezy" back there for a while, though Heal up quickly, sweetie!

they live about a half hour away so its a bit far - I came home from work and she was doing fine
Dad's doing fine thanks - he went back to his seasonal job a few weeks ago.
part of me wonders if she only messes with it when I'm around - ya know for sympathy
