My four-legged baby had surgery this past Friday. Duke had a tumor that had started growing quickly, was making him uncomfortable, and had to be removed. He's been such a trooper.
Here he is the day before surgery. I don't know if you can see the huge lump on his belly/chest. It ended up weighing about 2 pounds (he only weighs about 42 pounds without it).
And here he is after surgery while he was still fighting the anesthesia. He tried to get up out of his bed but then flopped over and fell asleep on my leg. :) Poor thing couldn't even pull his tongue into his mouth!
And here he is a couple of days later. You'll see in both photos he's wearing a human T-shirt to keep him from bothering the staples. We have to make a ponytail of the shirttail to make it stay on him. :)
Today (Thursday, when I wrote the post), he seems to be perking up. But he's still sleeping a lot. Hopefully healing well.
For an old man (15 years old!), he's doing great. He sends love and licks to those who prayed for his surgery.
