Miss Hoppy's Health - New picture

[Karen]

Miss Hoppy and I just got home from her ultrasound/biopsy. She's still a little woozy, as they gave her a wee bit of Vallium so she wouldn't be scared of the oxygen mask. She's got a shaved patch on her side, which makes us realize how much of her size is fur!

We will not get the biopsy results until tomorrow. Dr. Mayer is afraid it might be the lymphoma, as when they were shaving her side, they found a lump, and he's worried it might be a lymph gland that's also affected. Hopefully it's not, as the thymic lymphoma is more difficult to treat than a simple thymoma. But we are not jumping to conclusions, and will see what he says when he calls tomorrow. There's a chance the labs won't be done tomorrow, but he did rush the slides to them, hoping for an answer sooner rather than later.

Thanks everyone for your prayers, when we know more, I will let you know, I promise.

We will send extra prayers out for her tests to the least of the 2! Hope she feels less woozy soon.

Miss Hoppy, Karen, and Paul, I send you prayers and good thoughts. I hope the biopsy comes back with good news.

PT Prayers for Ms Hoppy! Wishing for a treatment plan and a comfy and happy bunny!

She's still a little woozy,
as they gave her a wee bit of Vallium ...
so she wouldn't be scared of the oxygen mask.

Oh yeah ... "so SHE wouldn't be scared ..."

More like to preserve their Finners and guard against *THUMPZ* from a Fiesty Bunny!

Glad everyone walked (and Hopped) away in one piece with all parts still attached ...
We'll send some Prayers for an easy-fix diagnosis.

How about a Bunny Treet, Mom?

I'm glad Miss Hoppy is back home with you now. Will continue with
prayers for a good outcome on her tests. ((Hugs)) for you both.

The doc called already! And the good news is that it is NOT the thymic lymphoma, it's just a thymoma, which means it is just that one tumor, not systemic, and is easier to treat. So that's a relief.

Thanks, Dr. Mayer! He said he was going to rush it to the lab, methinks maybe he also told them this was no ordinary bunny?

So ... are we gonna **Zapppp** it?

We can start roundin up Prayers as soon as you give the Word!

Have we passed *Good Bunny* Treets, yet?

[Felicia's Mom]

I will keep praying for Miss Hoppy's treatment.

All things considered... What wonderful news!!!!

Good luck on the test results for the lump.

He said there was a possibility that the lump on her side was just a harmless fatty tumor, but that's why HE - the vet - was anxious to get the test results back. I have told everyone at Tufts that people all over the world are praying for my bunny, so that might have hinted at how special she is, but I think Dr. Mayer is just a bunny person - and he has a little boy bunny that looks a lot like Miss Hoppy, too!

[cassiesmom]

this is no ordinary bunny?

Definitely not, she's extraordinary!

I delived the bunny treat on your behalf. She actually LIKES Dr. Mayer, her Tufts vet, but he is mindful that her little heart is working overhard right now anyway because of the tumor pressing on it. I cannot vouch for the safety of anyone else's fingers, though, and I know there were others involved in the process. She was perky for the treat, and seems back to "normal" except for the shaved patch on her side - and no, no pictures of that, she's embarrassed enough, thank you!
