Blog #3
Now, the sad part of my story: After a few days my owners found blood spots on the patio and noticed that I had a large (golf ball size) growth on my left front leg near my food pad. It was time to get it checked at the Vet. They were concerned and determined it was Cancer and needed to come off but they felt they could not do the surgery because it was so close to my paw. We decided to get a second opinion and had the same results. Both doctors suggested Dr. Tarvin could do the surgery if anyone could. He is at the Animal Specialty Group in Kearny Mesa. I had all kinds of test to be sure the cancer had not spread and luckily it had not. They did the surgery the next day and I was able to go home a day after that. Boy, was I happy to get home! They are not sure they were able to get all the Cancer but we all are praying. We have spent the last month and a half going in to have my leg bandaged and the brace replaced. We had to go every two or three days. I loved our trips to the Animal Specialty Group because the ladies there were so nice and I got to hang my head out the car window all the way to and from. Monday they took off the brace and today I am bandage free. My Mom and Dad need to put Neosporin on my sore two or three times a day. I go back in two weeks. Wish me luck. My next Blog will be soon and I will keep you up to date on my activities. If the weather gets better I am going swimming.
