Shilo and Amber BOTH went to the vet for surgery today.
1)Shilo.....needed the remaining few teeth removed. Poor fellow looks like he was hit by a Mack truck. I understand that his 1 remaining canine tooth just would not budge! (and the root was even longer thn the tooth itself). But at least now, once fully recovered, he won't need the monthly staroid injections. (the teeth kept causing swelling of the gums, a weepy eye and oozing at the lips of blood).
He's going to be in pain for a day or so (he was after his last dental) but in the long term, he will live much happier now.

2)Amber.....had a cyst removed from her tummy. It was not INSIDE the body, but rather in the dermal layer. She has had it for quite a while but recently it doubled in size (to about the size of a pecan).
But you should see the scar! I never would have guessed that it would have needed to be so large!
She'll be fine, probably sooner than Shilo. She is already almost over the ordeal.

And so goes the news of the day.
