Thanks so much!
Buddy is finally home! The techs and doc were so nice, they knew I was
happy and anxious to see him by the way I was...hovering over them!
When he came out he actually sniffed my face without making his usual
scrunchy-nose-face. I paid (only $450 including three cans of A/D) and
we left. I was thinking about living situations for about a week. His
sutures need to come out in a couple weeks by the vet. He has a huge
incision, but nicely stitched up. I kissed him on his bare bald spot
on the top of his head. About 8 weeks and his fur should be growing
back in!
So the living arrangements are pretty good. I have a huge four story
cage that my other four are in right now, while Buddy is in my/their
room.Everything is on one level that way. And I replaced the litter
boxes with paper towels (he peed for like 6 hours when I let him out!!)
so he wouldn't rip his sutures. He has beds with shallow entrances to
protect his belly, also. I am soooo glad to have my baby home! Maybe
his attitude will change when he starts getting better. He used to be
my sweet boy, not a rough, jittery one.
So it turned out to be a lefty (thank goodness) with a huuuge tumor.
The whole gland was taken out.
He is a bit groggy, but surprisingly alert-very good.
Thanks again, I will continue to keep you updated! I am so glad this
surgery is over. Whew!
