More Surgery for Checkers - Good News!

[Calliesmom]

Thanks everyone. She's in now. I was surprised this morning by a new question as part of the check-in process: "If something happens, do you want us to use CPR?" Does anyone else's vet ask this?

I'll post as soon as I have news. Thanks for the good wishes for my girl!

I had not heard that- Jo had a lump removed last fall and that wasn't in our process....

Ann, our vets have this CPR question on the signed form you have to give them every time your pet is even mildly sedated for any reason.

Thinking hard of you and Checkers right now, hoping for easy procedure and good outcome. I don't believe I've seen the CPR question yet....

Checkers is done and home and immediately looking for food so she's certainly fine! The vet said everything went well and she was so good they were able to do the procedure with just a bit of lidocaine. I have some gabapentin for her tonight but they don't even think she'll need an e-collar unless she bothers the stitches. Now we wait for the results of the biopsy, which will be 7 to 10 days.

Thanks for the good wishes and prayers! I kept busy waiting for word baking a batch of cookies. I will now proceed to eat them all.

Ann, that is the good news we were all waiting to hear...so happy all went well!! I think Checkers would like you to share some of those cookies with you...as long as they are not chocolate.

Great news so far. She's a tough customer. I know you're just glad to get her back home. Baking cookies sounds like a great distraction and eating them sounds even better!!!

I have gotten that question every time Gavin goes in to the vet for anything beyond a check up for a few years....

That's fantastic news, I'm so happy for you and Checkers.

 

[Margi]

Phew. Glad that's over and she's OK!

Yeah for Shelties! Gavin only had to have a local for his neck tumor. I don't think they originally thought that it would work, but he is sooo calm and laid back. Sounds like Checkers is too I swear it helps so much when your pup is vet procedure friendly, especially during these times where we don't get to even go in with them. I hope the biopsy comes back clean for you.
