Rutherford BACK from surgery......AGAIN!

[jenluckenbach]

Rutherford is home from his day at the vet.

The clinic's other vet did his surgery. When he looked at the xray taken by the first vet, he felt that Rutherford's lungs looked slightly clouded. He questioned whether this could be the cancer moving to the lungs. If it were, then the anesthesia would not be a good idea.

Since the lump to be removed was shallow, he decided to take it without general anesthesia. (this actually worked in everyone's favor. Cheaper! Also less recovery time for Rutherford)

This vet also can't say what the other more bony lump is. Except that removal does not seem to be an option. So, whatever it is, Rutherford will have to live with it.

So now my boy is all shaved now again, with a bunch of staples in him. But he sure deserves all the help I can give him......he is the best little lap buddy and sweetheart.

Aw, lots of (((HUGS))) to you and gentle pets to Rutherford. I sure hope he's comfortable for a long time to come.

Gentle kisses on that sweet forehead. I hope you feel better soon, sweetheart!

Please feel better and prayers for you and your fur momma.

I'm glad that the vet used local anesthesia both for Rutherford and for your pocketbook! I hope he is feeling better each day.

Rutherford is doing OK, but he isn't eating right yet. But I am sure he'll have his appetite back soon.

I'm glad he back home. Hopefully his apetite will return quickly.

Please give him some gentle kisses for me.
