Well the surgery is over and he is home and very uncomfortable.  Cant walk
to much and is not eating his normal food yet.  Is drinking out of a bowl
a little.  Well anyway the dr opened him up not actually knowing what he
would find and when he did it was worse than what he had expected.  He had
a huge tumor on the adrenal gland (safe side), and got it off, then he was
looking around at the other organs, and he had 5 pinkie nail sized tumors
on his spleen so instead of trying to cut them all off, he just removed it.
 
My baby is feeling awful.  He looks like he got mauled by a dog, and will
let me hold him for a while.  Have him away from everyone and hope
tongiht's sleep helps him feel better.  I will keep an eye and ear on him
and I have the pain meds ready for him if he needs them.  Well I wanted to
let everyone know how he is doing, and let you all know that I appreciate
how caring you all are.  Gonzo thanks you also.
 
Anyway I also took 3 other guys in for shots this afternoon and their
checkups.  Well Roxie did fine with her visit.  She weighs 2 lbs, and is
healthy as a horse.  Luke is fine also and his spleen is enlarged but not
to big yet.  I will be soon.  He got his shot.  He weighs 2.6.  Then
Tillis, he on the other hand is a surgery candidate and he has to go in on
Tuesday.  He has a mass cell tumor on the inside of his leg and an enlarged
spleen, but we are just doing the tumor right now.  His spleen isnt that
bad.  He asked me what it is about me and spleens?  I laughed.  He is not
going to charge me for Tillis's leg so that is nice.  Anyway I am hoping
all of this is over soon.  Will have 2 babies cramped up in one small
surgery cage, unless I move everyone around.  Will have to see what what
happens.  Thanks again for all the support, and warm fuzzy hugs to those
who have sick and lost fuzzies.  My heart goes out to you.
 
Julie and her crew.
Gonzo- OW mommy my tummy hurts.  Wimper Wimper
