seriously big apoligy

Im am just so so sorry a havent been able to get on for so long! I feel just terrible....we have all been so busy and the whole villages electric has been out for 4 days!!!
I have got some bad news as well......
Kaos developed a small lump under his armpit which in a week trebbled in size. I took him to the vet and he has a tumor. The vets thinks its this certain type of tumor comman in staffs and boxers which is non cancerous and will after 10 weeks or so disapear to nothing like it was never there. He said its a bad sign if it gets any bigger or bleeds and may not be the shrinking tumor and may be a sign of cancer. Its doubled in size again from when we went to the vets and is bleeding so he has an appointment on friday. Im so worried but he is fine in himself. The vet said if it is caner the likleyhood is that it will have spread.............
Sorry to have to come on and be so depressive......

Just got back from vets good and bad news really.......Well its got quite big about 5cm across and vets said its looking really inflamed and angry and she doesnt like the look of it so wants to remove it. So Kaos is going in to have it removed on tuesday morning and obviously will no more once it has been biopsied. But at least its coming off lol x

£210.92 later..........

Oh hun, well all I can say is good luck for Tuesday and I really hope it isn't anything to worry about. Poor Kaos, is he going to be sedated or is it just a simple op. Bless ya, there such a worry Xx

Well hope all goes well for Tuesday...poor Kaos and poor you!! $$...

Always a worry isn't it, when our beloved fur babies need an operation.

Take care XX

Thanks both of you. Janey im assuming he is being put under, the vets given me a estimate break down sheet and it says I/V Induction Anaesthesia 10-40kgs and Isoflurane Anaesthesia Dog 20kgs???? Whatever all that mean lol x

Aww poor Kaos and poor you going through all of this. It must be such a worrying time for you!


They should have explained all that to you, but if not should go through it all with you when you sign the consent form on tuesday. Basically the IV induction anaesthesia is an injection which will be given prior to the operation, it will anesthatise Kaos initially so that they can prep him for surgery etc. It will go into the vein in his front leg, so he might have a wee shaved patch here. Then to perform the operation they will need to intubate him (tube down his trachea to keep his airways open) and through this he will get a gas anaesthesia which is the isoflurane. That keeps him under and is then switched off when they want to bring him round. Hope that makes sense and doesn't scare you, it is a routine operation so he shouldn't be under for long.

Hows he doing? stanlie had a lump on his lip and had too have it removed a few months back now we paid too have it checked to make sure it wasnt cancerous which it wasnt and his healed up fine. Hope your boys ok. Michelle n the Gang x
