Bump!?

[Albea]

Dear Bridget:
Carina and I are very happy to hear that Daisy's bump was nothing more than a fatty cyst As I told you before, Carina has great experience in that area, having had several removed. Don't worry too much about the forthcoming surgery (I'm a good one to say that ) You will be amazed at how quickly doggies recover, possibly because they don't feel sorry for themselves.
Many best wishes for a quick recovery go to Graham also.

Bridget, I was very relieved to hear Daisy did not have a malignent tumor, GOOD NEWS, I wanted to tell you that Ms Daisy had a cherry eye when she was just a puppy, I had never heard of it before and our Vet said it should be removed so we decided to go ahead.
We did have it removed and she did very well and he said there was a chance it would return but it never has, so think positive I'm sure Daisy will do fine.

Dear Bridget and Daisy! What great news!!!! I'm so relieved, as I'm sure you are, Bridget! Daisy, what a brave little girl you were. Big hugs and kisses to you precious. And I too am glad you'll be getting your eye boo-boo taken care of. Sleep well Daisy girl. Star sends lots of love your way.

And precious, precious Graham. Hold tight to your mommy. It will be all over before you know it! You make sure your mom lets us know how you're doing a.s.a.p!!! We love you sweet Graham.

Love, Sandra, Cody and Star

Wow, you guys are amazing! I am just sitting here smiling because of all the wonderful people who care so much about me and my Daisy girl! Thank you all!

Leslie, I am sure everything will go smoothly for sweet Graham. Graham baby, don't you worry about a thing. It will all be over very quickly, and I bet when you get some you'll get spoiled evem more than usual

Jackie, what a coincidence that our Daisys both have/had cherry eyes! About a year ago I posted asking if anyone else's dogs had ever had one and no one said yes. I am very interested to hear that someone else has gone through this. Did Miss Daisy have it tacked down or removed? Our vet only removes them, because he says that way, there's no chance of it coming back. Did Daisy ever seem to notice any pain after the surgery? Did she need a bandage over the eye or something? Goodness, I sound so worried! It's because I am! I know everything will go well... I just hate the thought of surgery!

Thank you again, everyone. I love you all!

Love,
Bridget and Daisy

Try not to worry too much, Bridget. I've seen many dogs in the shelter have them removed and the surgery is actually quick and easy. I know Daisy will be just fine.

Good luck to Graham today. He'll be back in your arms before you know it, and he'll be lump- and wart-free!

Bridget, I sympothise with you. I know it's not a major surgery but any surgery, big or small, is always scary. I don't remember anything about the cherry eye surgery, but I know it's common so it's hopefully quick and easy. I learned something kinda interesting on Animal Planet on a "Breed All About It" about Afgan Hounds...dogs can smell fear in our breaths, so when the owners/handlers are nervous at a show they chew mint gum to hide the fear in their breaths. Interesting. I don't normally chew gum, but I bought a pack and chewed a piece this morning as I took Graham for one last walkie before we headed to the vet. Then before I went into the vet I chewed a new piece, that way Graham would not be able to smell the fear/nervousness in my breath Thats maybe something that might help when you bring in Daisy to the vet.

There is one good about getting this surgery overwith today...I won't have to sleep with his stuffie and his blankie anymore I chose one blanket and one stuffie that I sent with him to have in his cage at the vet so he could have my smell on me and I rolled over onto that uncomfortable stuffie so many times, and every time it woke me up And the blankie I chose to send with him is small enough to fit in a cage and it is not a real special blankie so if he messes it up by getting sick, it's not a big loss...and the blankie is actually a throw blanket with the woven cords on it (not sure what the name for them is) and everytime one of the cords would rub up against my arm or leg while I was asleep I woke up franticlly thinking there was a huge bug crawling on me I surely won't miss sleeping with the blankie and stuffie

Bridget somehow I missed this whole post too. I am really slipping! I'm glad that Daisy's cyst was just that and nothing more. My toy poodle, Pumpkin, had one on his tummy and it never grew so it was there for years.

Now we have more paw-wringing to do over Daisy's cherry eye. I'm also familiar with that as my toy poodle, Peaches, had that! As I recall she had to wear one of those collars afterwards (I forget the name of them right now) so she wouldn't scratch the area. It is pretty common, but I know when it is your baby there is nothing common about it! Fingers and paws are all crossed for Daisy for Sept. 10th!

Leslie, wow Graham is at the white coats now I guess. I certainly hope he will be just fine in no time at all. I loved the story of your sleeping on his things, especially thinking there was a bug in the bed! I am always rolling over on things in the night but it is usually an animal!

Bridget, They removed the cherry eye from Ms Daisy, they told me it could come back but like everything else the odds are probably against that. No I don't believe she had any pain, we put one of those megaphone things on her, she didn't like that too much but it kept her from scratching. It healed nicely and no problem. Her cherry eye came out all of a sudden, one day it was not there the next it was, don't know why. Your Daisy will just do fine I'm sure.
Graham you be a good boy and good luck on your surgery, I'm sure it will go well. I know your Mom will have the whole weekend to spoil you, so TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER.
Love and kisses to both our sweet girl Daisy and our handsome boy Graham.

Good luck, Graham! Hugs, kisses, and well wishes to you from me and my crew

Me. too. back logged, and TERRIBLY sorry for being so late in answering. I guess it sounds like I don't care. Cody too, has fatty
lumps, so far, so good, but scary when you don't know what they are! I tell Cody he needs liposuction! Good that you have a wonderful trusting vet, it's worth the money when our babies are in good hands! I find pet insurance helps a lot. Cody and I send lots of get well soon wishes and know that everything will be AOK!!

[Stenograsaurus]

I was getting all excited when I read this post. I thought I was going to be able to remove Daisy from the prayer request list. Not only do I have to keep her on until after her surgery but I also have to add Graham!!
Good luck to both of you. I'm looking forward to the time when special prayers are no longer needed for you guys!!

Leslie, we are sitting on our paws waiting to hear about our precious Graham. All paws and fingers have been crossed here this morning. All I can see is his beautiful, proud grin as he cleared that hurdle!!! Graham, you hurry up and get well!! Blankie and stuffies make help your mom get through the night, but it's just not the same!!

Hannah sends a sweet little kiss for Graham to help him feel better when he gets home.
