I'll be praying extra hard the tests come back good.
I'm sorry about Lucky. But, they did remove the mass, so maybe Lucky will be ok. The mass could be benign. I will be thinking of you and her.Tonight i am very sad and trying hard not to be hopping mad. We rang the Vet's as they had not contacted us as planned. After being kept on the phone waiting an age, I was told she was ready to be collected.
It was pouring with rain and we headed on the ten minute journey through our Town's traffic rush hour.
A very young female vet took me into a consulting room and told me she had found a mass on Lucky's one ovary. She had removed the mammary lump and the large ovarian mass should be sent for histology to see if it was cancerous or benign. Having to bare in mind the colosal bill I already faced, I said what would the result of this test prove? Worse case scinario Lucky does not have long to live, best she could heal and have a few more years. So we go back on Thursday for them to check her wound over. Then to have the stitches out.
She is wearing a huge plastic collar to keep her from pulling out her stitches, and licking her wounds.
In the old days I would have had a phone call with lucky on the table and asked did I want them to proceed or put her down. Today I would have wanted her put down, as I know what is in front of her, and it is not good.
We used to have the choice for our pets, but apparently not anymore. I will keep her as comfortable as I can for as long as I can, but in the end it will all come to the same thing. I think I can start feeling mad now.
