Missy was preparing for her surgery in this photo. She's not looking her best tonight, but she's doing okay. Her lump was removed as well as some teeth. The lump was under a couple layers of muscle so there is about a 3" long wound on her chest with 12 stitches and drainage hoses. She will have the hoses until Monday, and the stitches for 10 days. The vet pulled teeth that were loose, so her mouth will be tender as well as her chest area. We're glad she's home and on the mend. She will be more comfortable without that lump when she's walking, laying down, or typing on the computer.

Poor baby! Get well soon, Missy!
Poor lil thing. She looks very brave. Be careful what you feed her. The news is all about Rat poison in wet food which I imagine is all she can handle. Don't want her sicker!
poor little baby! i'm sure you're giving missy extra lovings :-)
Sweet Girl!! I am so glad to know that she's in your loving arms...and on her comfy bed! Thank the Goddess thats over with! I can just feel how happy she is to be at home!!
Now she can get back to her old adorable self!
Much love to all of you....what an ordeal!
Missy, I've been thinking of you! So glad to hear she's done with surgery and ok. I'm sure you know all this, but rice, and no-sodium chicken broth are good for sick puppies who can't chew much. Oh, and as soon as her stitches start to heal, they might be very itchy and she might start licking and working on them. Suggestions that worked for us:
a small t-shirt outfit over the wound (after the hoses are removed)
an elizabethan collar, although this is so undignified and uncomfortable!
Good luck! Harry and Sally send their best get well wishes!
Yay Missy's through it! Get well soon! :)
