She did well at the Vets. They just love her there! Having gone through her long and difficult illness, and treatment, these people are all very attached to her. I think she likes them too, although she gets a little nervous when she first gets there.
“What will they do to me today?”
They weighed her, 21 pounds, and checked her all over, she’s in fine health and then looked at the growth under her arm. It’s a Hymangioma. Basically it’s a blood filled tumor. Since the tumor is now causing her problems it’s got to be removed. So, on Friday she will have the tumor removed under local anesthesia. She’ll be there long enough for the surgery and recovery and then come home the same day.
I’ll give her a nice bath and trim her fur tomorrow so she will be all cleaned up and beautiful. It’ll be a while until she will be able to have a bath after the surgery because of the stitches. Once I do, I’ll post a picture of her.
For an old lady of 10, she looks pretty darn good!
best of luck to Shubi doobie do. Let us know ASAP how she does.
I hope everything goes well and Shubi is up and at ’em quickly!
Good Mama!
You go girl…..Let us know how she does. I’ll be thinking of her for sure
Awww poor Shubi! So lucky to have a good mom like you. I am kind of surprised they are not just draining it if it is filled with liquid. Unless they think it will just fill again.
