Prayers for Beau please…

Well I would be a bit concerned too but, of course it would be a simple matter to biopsy while you are right in there surgically instead of watching and waiting and then doing it later, a more difficult procedure for Beau. Think of it as peace of mind insurance!

I certainly hope that is the case, Sharon! That was the whole goal!
I am a bit concerned about them wanting to do the biopsy of the liver. Don’t really understand why but they highly recommended doing it. Just that alone was $500! Anyway, my vet confirmed it was better to do it now. I think it takes 2 weeks to get results back…

when Gavin had his neck wart/tumor removed, they wanted to get it biopsied and it was like $500....which was more than the actual removal was. At his age, I said absolutely not cause what are we going to do if it comes back as cancer? But it's definitely a limited opportunity things with the liver. and hopefully will give more peace of mind

My neighbor dropped by to give Beau a cupcake!

 

[Cindy]

so gentle....what a sweetheart!

 

[Sharon7]

He looks delighted with his cupcake! Really we say it over and over, but Beau just has the sweetest expression. What a love. He looks great!

 

[Margi]

Aw look at that. He is so good and sweet and kind.

Awwww I love those pictures Gloria! I can’t say it enough I love that face of his…he has just the sweetest expression! Lucky dog, that cupcake looked yummy!
Did Liam and Baron see Beau get that cupcake? Or did they get one as well?

Yes, both Liam and Baron got a small piece of the bottom of the cupcake!

The tradazone is one that can be an issue for MDR1 dogs. The gave Tully Gabapentin after her surgery as the only drug - she doesn't handle it (she's not MDR1) and it really doesn't give pain relief on it's own. I'm surprised they are using Amatadine and Gaba at the same time as they are both working on nerve receptors - no wonder he was doped off his brain. And no narcotic, that's what they did to Tully - Gaba is meant to work in conjunction with other drugs and is not very good on it's own. It may help in humans for nerve based pain but that's not gallbladder surgery. Cerenia is just for nausea.

Still, he seems to be pulling through really well. His eyes look a little sad though.
