Well, My pup just truned 10 this past tuesday...
she didnt get her present untill today, I did order it on her birthday... To be honest I was scared out of my wits for most of the day while she was getting it.
I took her to the vet, as many of you know I had mentioned earlier my pup had a tumor on her breast, It had gotten to the size of a coco-nut and as bout as hard...
first thing I hear when we go in is that the opperation could kill her, meds could kill her, it could be cancer, Just about every thing wrong that could go wrong they told me, or should I say reminded me, I had taken her in back in agust for a check up and we talked about it then, at that time the tumor was the size of a golfball,
They told me an estimate of about $1200.oo to remove the tumor back then, Well comming up with $1200.oo on a fixed budget is not an easy task let me tell ya,
I didnt sleep a single minute last night.... and I took her in this morning for perliminary testing, blood, exrays and other stuff, I was told that they may not be able to do the sergery depending on what they found....
Justifying $1200.oo wasnt easy either, the doc said if it is cancer she would only have a couple weeks to live without the sergery, with the sergery about 5 months...
The thought of loosing her on her birthday or at christmas time was a bit much, so I told them to do the opperation, Worst case senario is I buy her 5 more months of eating cookies and mooching the last bite of my sandwiches...
Its hard to Imagine how attached one gets to a pup, from about 9 am till 2 pm I sweated it out, not knowing what was comming, terrified every time the phone rang it would be the vet telling me it was cancer... ya I got about 15 phone calls today... I might need some cardiac treatment my self I tell ya what...
then about 2pm the phone rang and it was the vet, and my heart sank in to deapths of my gut as I awaited to hear those dreaded words...
stonewall jacksons statue would have had a hard time holding back the waterworks.. I had this pup since she was two weeks old...
They didnt come, insted the doc said her lungs was clear, blood was good, kidneys look good... the tumors didnt look cancerous, and he thought they biopsy will come back benine so he was going to go ahead and do the sergery...
about 3:30 I talk to the doc again and he said the prognosis looked good, she came though the sergery ok and was just waking up but would be groggy for the rest of the night... I am leaving to go pick her up just as soon as I let this post fly...
