Good evening LL-
What a busy week. I was out of town last weekend and unable to post. DH took the cone of Fur Ball as he just wasn't coping and seemed to do quite well leaving his stitches alone. He went to the vets tonight and got the stitches out of his chest. whew. All of the mouth sutures are absorbed. He has one flap that is still healing but overall his mouth looked good. He had an elevated temp but nothing she was concerned about. His appetite issues seem to be 'picky' rather than anything she was worried about. DH asked how they compounded the bupe and if there was any sugar in it and she "couldn't say." DH wasn't sure if she really did not know or if she just would not say. All of that news was pretty good.
Bad news. Last Thur I found another mast cell tumor (6 days after surgery). DH had the vet look at it and confirmed. She said 3 of them had looked over his body pretty good while he was under so she suspects it had just popped out after surgery. She does not want to operate and has referred us to the oncologist for an ultrasound to determine the extent of the spreading. My heart is saddened as his prognosis does not look good. But we won't know until we do more tests. I had to work late tonight so was not able to ask the vet more questions. Poor guy. We've worked so hard to get him to the Falls and now this.
Anyway, I'll try to get to condos. My computer is acting up and slower than molasses!
Continue to think of Michelle as she grieves the loss of an LL legend. Thinking of all the other furbabies needing healing.
