Continued Prayers for Cincy -Surgery #2 Stitches are out and all is well!

[Cincy'sMom]

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. Cincy is doing well...relaxing mostly tonight. I only fed her 1/2 her dinner, and she has not begged for more, so you know she isn't feeling exactly there yet!

Ralph said when he bought her home, Sadie brought a tennis ball and dropped it by her. It is amazing how in tune the 3 of them are with each other!

Amy I'm glad she's home and doing fine. I'll be saying a prayer that the test comes back benign.

(((HUGS))) to Cincy

OMGoodness, that is sooo cute! More prayers going out that it is nothing serious.

[4 Dog Mother]

Glad my grand dog came through the surgery okay. You can bet we are all praying that the lump is benign. Did you find the collar? Is she leaving it alone?

That was very sweet of Sadie! Your dogs are very close- I am sure they know when one isn't feeling well and needs the extra sympathy.

Get better, Cincy - Grandma loves you!

I did find the collar. She was really too out of it to bother it too much last evening so we didn't put it on until close to bed time. She was more alert this morning, she had not bothered it at all overnight. Last night before bed it was looking a little swollen, just from her walking around and trauma in general, but this morning, after her being off it all night, it was looking really good. Ralph didn't mentioned anything when I talked to him a few hours ago, so I assume she is being good....

She is suppoed to stay calm for 3 days. Yesterday of course was not a proble, but I bet by tomorrow night she will be begging to play ball and wrestle with Spot (if she isn't already!)

Late, but, heartfelt prayers coming your way!

Cincy is still doing well...she isn't thrilled about the E-collar while we are gonet o work, but doesn't seem to mind the no-bite in the evenings. She is wanting to play, but they said she couldn't return to "normal" activity levels for 3 days...I guess that means tonight I can let her loose!

I did feel like a bad mommy this morning when I realized I had not given her any pain meds...but she certainly has not acted at all like she has needed them, jumping on and off the bed and couch, and trying to chase Spot! She is a tough little thing!

Still waiting to hear results of the biopsy...

[Karen]

Glad to hear she's doing so well, here's hoping the biopsy comes back clean!

Good thing Heidi didn't trade notes with Cincy at the last Gathurin about
"How to Get Around an E-Collar" - or you might be havin a *ruffer tyme* of this!

While wearing a "regular sized" E-Collar, Heidi learned how to lay down, curl up,
and then *kick* her bandaged foot INTO the collar (and her MOUTH)!
I can't remember how many times we returned to the Clinic for re-wraps of a naked foot!

The "fix" was the Techs moved her up one size in E-collars ...
It was *HUGE* compared to the size of the Mutt!

Hang in there, Cincy!
And try not to *lick* when the Hoomins are *watchin*!

I've been keeping an eye on this thread and had Cincy in my thoughts. Glad to see she is doing well. Keep it up girl!

We got the results from the vet today...although we have not spoken with him we had a message, and the news was not as good as we hoped. Cincy does have cancer, a Grade II Hemangiopericytoma. The good news it is locialized (does not often dpread) and genreally slow growing. The bad news is they did not get it all, and it does have a high rate of reoccurance.

So, the message he left is that he is recommending we wait about a month, let the area heal, then go back in and try to get the rest. We have an appointment to get her staples out a week from tomorrow, so if not before I am sure we will talk to him in much more detail then.

From what I am reading online, a Grade I or Grade II is a managable long term. I don't know what degree of treatment she may need (and I am sure it depends on how succesful the next surgery is), but radiation, chemo or amputation may be eventual options or consideratons. Another thing we have to factor in with her is an enlarged heart, and while she has shown no signs of issues with anethesia so far, I don't honestly know if radiation, which requires daily treaments for 2-3 weeks will be a viable option for her.

Whatever the case, we will do what we can to keep her as happy and healthy as we can! So please keep up those prayers a more succeful operation next go round!

Here are a few sites I have been reading, if anyone is interseted in more details
