Taking it easy

Claire's back home tonight.  The vet said she came through her procedure with flying colors.  No complications and they were able to remove the mass easily.  They are sending it off for a path test but the vet said it didn't look bad/alarming so he felt this was more of a cyst/growth, but I'll wait until the lab test come back next week.  


Meanwhile, Claire is on the DL for the next two weeks.  No walks, no swimming and no baths until the stitches come out.  I will take her back on Friday to have her bandage removed.  She is a bit groggy and not up to her normal personality, but it may take a day for the effects of the anesthesia to wear off.  In the interim, she's getting extra attention/loving.

I was worried after reading your last post. Glad she came out of her surgery ok, and paws crossed that it turns out to be benign. Give her some extra lovin' from me.

Whew, I'm glad she got through the procedure okay. I'm really hoping it's just her age, and the growth is just one of those things the old gals get. China's had her share of harmless lumps like the great bubble ear and others. Extra hugs from me too!

The minute I saw Claire on my sidebar, I came a-running. We didn't even need a collar for Beau after his surgery. I told him "NO" and he did not touch the stitches. You know how dry and itchy they can get.

Everything sounds promising so far. I'll say some prayers that all is well for her.
