Hey there everyone,
Ok On Sunday night I went to let my Dane out, and there was this bump on his hip bone. So I thought maybe he bumped his back playing rough in the snow with the german shep. Well I watched it that day and we left for Montreal in the semi on Monday and our friend Kris watched all my animals for me. Well Brutis's bump didn't get any bigger or smaller when I was gone. On Monday it felt like a little water filled sack about half the size of a golf ball, well This morning it was hard and wouldn't move around and was still the same size. So I took him to the vet and he advised me either to watch it and it might grow or take it off. It could either be a cancerous tumor or a benin tumor. So of course I didn't take any chances and told him to hack her off. So he did. Brutis took a good size tranqulizer and didn't even fall asleep, but he acted very drugged up, I've never saw him so calm. He pushed back all 5 of his other surgerys to take Brutis first because I wouldn't leave him there all alone. SO I got to come in with him and all that. Well the tumor came off no problem but it was a pretty big hunk of skin, tumor and muscle that they have to cut out to make sure its out. The vet said it didn't look cancerous so I didn't bother sending it away. It would have cost almost another 100$ to do that. But at least its off and if it is cancerous there ins't anything we can do for him anyway. So at this point he has 5 stiches and a pretty big gash. I took some shots of it and I will post them when I get this camera back to its owner. Its got a dock and all that so its more complicated that what I'm used to.
He has antiboitics for a few days then back on January 1 or 2 to get his stiches removed. He's just sittin around in luxery in the basement on my boyfriends bed just hanging out. What a suck! I love him to death though!
He's going on a trip with us to Patrick, Denise and Marie's house for New Years! I'm so excited and everytime he goes in the car he thinks thats where were going! LOL
I'll let you know on his progress
