Just a quick update on Lightning.
Don't worry, I will stick right by you until you are feeling better, just like you did for me after my two knee surgeries.
Finally some alone time. I am just going to sleep the day away and dream of my adventures in Dr. SeussVille.
From Mom: So the dental went well. Lightning did have that big tooth extracted. In the vet's words, the tooth was "terminal". He did fine with the surgery and anesthesia. But - there is always a but - the vet called me before he woke Lightning up to talk about a lump he found on the top of his tongue just under the surface. Not one of those warty things, but a firm lump. After discussion of options, we decided to have the vet remove the lump and send it to the lab for analysis. Results will be back in about a week - 50/50 chance of good/bad news:( He has also lost 7 pounds since November or December that I cannot explain by anything I have done to change his diet. We are going to go with a glass half full and hope for only good news.
If you missed it, be sure to check out our previous post for Dr. Seuss Day HERE. We think it will make you smile.

ReplyDeleteWe're glad to hear Lightning's surgery went well and have our paws crossed for a good outcome from the lump that was removed.

ReplyDeleteThe vet was totally on form and it was good to see to things immediately. POTP POTP POTP for pawsitive results!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Good to know Lightning has one problem sorted. Fingers and paws crossed here that the lump is not a bad one.
ReplyDeleteI hope the mass on his tongue is nothing. The older I get the more bumps and lumps I have. Doctor says most are normal.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Scritches to all the pups. Hug to mom. ♥
I am glad the tooth was successfully removed with no problems. I hope the biopsy of the lump comes back good too.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad that the terminal tooth was put out of its misery. We are sending purrayers that the lump is benign and the reason that Lightening has lost weight is from the tooth! Thanks for letting us know. Sending you many purrayers.
ReplyDeleteHey Dear Lightning...bless your heart. UGH I know all about soft diets and painful mouths...I send you tons of sympathy and healing hugs. You are lucky to have such devoted siblings. Misty looked very intent on her sentry duties.

Oh dear, there's always a but, isn't there? We have all paws crossed here. Morgan had a lump in her mouth that needed to be removed. It all turned out well though she added a few more grey hairs to my head.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "A lump? We don't like lumps in places they aren't supposed to be!"
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "We are sending lots of purrs for the good news scenario!"
Lulu: "And I send lots of fluffy tail wags!"
Hi friend Lightning Woo, Ojo here! I am sorry to hear about your tooth and your lump and that Vet Thing on your leg. I hope everything is good and you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThere is some good snoozing going on there, good to rest after your day at the vet!
