My baby had surgery today. For those of you that didn't know, Macy has had a tumor on her back for the past few years that has just kept getting bigger and bigger. It has really bothered me because I keep thinking that it is cancer. I have been very nervous about getting it looked at. I don't want her to have cancer, so I have just put it off for a while, but I couldn't put it off any longer.
I took her in yesterday to get her vaccinations updated, refill her heart guard medication, and have her lump looked at. The doctor took a biopsy of the tumor and didn't think it looked like cancer (whew!) but he suggested that we get it removed. I completely agreed because I hate feeling it on her back when I pet her, and I hate answering questions about what it is. So we took her in this morning to get her teeth cleaned, and to have her tumor removed. She is actually feeling pretty well. She isn't very happy that she can't lick her back, but she is dealing with it. The vet had put a cone around her neck so that she wouldn't lick her back, but they said that we can take it off while we are watching her. She couldn't even walk around with the cone on so we haven't made her wear it yet, but when we go to work and leave her she will have to wear it (poor thing).
Here are a few pictures of our cute Macy post surgery. I don't think she looks too bad.
Here is a close up. The incision is about 1 inches wide. Poor thing! At least it is gone. I post again when they get the results back telling us what it was. Cross your fingers that it is nothing.
On a side note, we have been watching a fox that lives behind our house in the wildlife preserve. I guess there are about 3 foxes out there, but we always see this one. He has been digging for mice pretty close to our house. Keep it up Mr. Fox. We don't want any mice in this house.
This last picture is of Macy. She was freaking out at the fox. Too funny!!
