Zino has lumps on his lips and neck (not cancerous ) and the OP is tomorow. No Ketamine, no Heart Murmur, 13 years old with the vet who knows the breed and Zino well.
Just keep your fingers crossed for a smooth procedure!
@kellyannallen , hugs n positive vibes for sweet Zino's surgery. all paws are are family. glad you have a vet that knows the breed and knows Zino well.
as if they call you during surgery for updates? mine does for peace of mind.
Zino is home, the lumps are gone, they ended up being hard filled glands not even real cysts.
He had five removed, he was not the most cooperative patient to get the needles etc for the operation according to the Vet tech. I personally don't blame him for not wanting to be sticked and poked either.
My wife picked him up, I was working and couldn't do that, and he was wobbly/still half under the sedation when she brought him home. He wasn't really steady on his feet but his first thing he did was go use his litter box, then he wanted water and food.
He is getting steadier, but he's definitely not interested in being overly active. He's resting in his baskets and then going and getting something to eat and drink (wet food, water) and telling us in a loud grumpy voice that today was NOT his cup of tea and was it really necessary.
Friday he goes to get a penicillin shot and next week the stitches come out.
He looks a little like either he lost a fight and needed the stitches or Frankenkitty, but we are just glad he's home with us and no more big lumps an his face and neck.
