Glad miss Lacey is now feeling better.Poor girl....
May I ask how old she was when you had her spayed? Did she have her first heat cycle before you had her spayed?

Sugar is fine. She has been off meds for the eye for months. Next recheck is 6 months, then annually after that. Sugar has perfect vision, both eyes!Originally Posted by cassiesmom
Did Sugar get a good report, by the way? Could you please have mum give you both, Tasha and Marlin some hugs for me?

Lacey is a rescue, adopted from the Providence Animal Control. At the time (2 years back), my vet estimated her age at 5 to 7 (I choose 5), and told me when he spayed her that she'd had many, many litters. So I've known she was at risk for mammary gland tumors, been keeping watch.Glad miss Lacey is now feeling better.

Tasha, as a puppy mill rescue, spayed at age 4, is also at risk for her life time.

Oh ok. That's the really unfortunate thing about not spaying females BEFORE their first heat.... mammary gland tumors.

Dear sweet Lacey, how was your day? Freedom, is Lacey eating better?
P.S., are Marlin and Sugar rescue dogs, too? P.P.S., HUGS!

Lacey is fine, her normal happy bouncy self. Doing all her normal things. Yesterday (Thursday) I took her with the rest for a nice long walk. She LOVED being outside after being house bound. She is still wearing the e collar, but she is doing great.
Marlin was a house pet, adopted at age 9 weeks. Neutered young, so don't expect any issues with him.
Sugar was used for breeding, spayed at age 9. But a responsible breeder, only every other year. She DID have at least one large litter, her ribs at the back are bent outwards (normal per my vet and nothing to worry about). I watch her but don't worry much.
Tasha, as a puppy mill rescue, is also high risk for these tumors. Will have to watch her all her life as well.
