Need good vibes for Nessa

[Adelle]

A lump appeared literally over night on Nessa’s face (on the side of her nose on the wrinkles) about 2 weeks ago. It was about the size of a pea; I decided to just keep an eye on it to see if it would go away on its own. But 2 weeks later no improvement, so we went to the vet yesterday. They were not able to take an aspirate because the top got knocked off the lump the other day when she was scratching her face so to be safe she is having it removed today to be sent out for a biopsy. Because of its location its going to be hard to cut out much tissue around it for clean margins so today we are being conservative and just taking out the lump and depending on the biopsy results she may or may not have to go back and have the margins around it removed.

And while she is under she is also having a cracked tooth removed, I don’t know how or when she cracked it but I noticed it last week, it doesn’t hurt her but looks painful to me so its best to take it out now while she is under instead of waiting till it gets infected or painful.

It broke my heart to leave her this morning at the vet, she is very nervous and shy in strange situations, she was shaking like a leaf and just pleading with her big brown eyes for me not to leave her – I did actually cry a bit when I got out to my car. I know its silly she will be home tonight but her sad terrified face just killed me.

It's not silly to be upset when you leave your baby at the vet. You love her, and don't want her to be frightened or in pain or sick, etc. It's a normal reaction to leaving a loved one at the hospital for surgery!!

You and Nessa will be in my thoughts and prayers. Let's hope they get every bit of the bump, and don't have to do more surgery!!

The vet just called, the surgery went well and she is awake but still sleepy, I can pick her up at 6 p.m.

We will have biopsy results by the weekend.

Glad to hear Nessa is through the surgery. Hope she recovers quickly and that you get good test results.

I hope Neesa's ok. I know how sad it can be to see them hurt or scared. I have a tough time leaving Chula in the mornings because she looks at me with those big sad eyes and I just melt.

Keep us posted on Neesa's progress. I'm sure she'll be happy to see you.

I know the waiting is the hardest part. We should hear the results from our boxer girl Sophie's biopsy today. I will keep both in my prayers. I am sure that everything will turn out fine.

I'm glad to hear that Nessa came through the surgery ok. We will be praying for good news on the biopsy.

It is hard to leave our babies like that. I think one of the worst days of my life was when my boy had knee surgery - I was just a mess! I'm glad to hear that she's doing ok. I hope the biopsy results will be good as well.
