Operation

doing well



Today is a very good day.  Lucy is doing very well.  Maybe too well for just 2 days after the operation. :-)
On Thursday, when she came back, she was very hyper and needed her space.  She was also restless.
Yesterday (Friday), she was more relaxed in the morning.  Maybe because her pain medication made her more sleepy.  In the evening, Lucy was already moving a lot and talking back.  She is still not very comfortable going down and up the stairs, but she managed a few times.  At least she does not jump.

Talking about jumping, I don't know if it is good or not.  Last night (and the night before) we put the mattress on the floor, as she likes to sleep with us, and we did not want her to jump on the bed.  Well, she used me last night as a step ladder.  She wanted to be on the bed string, to look over us better.  So, Lucy stepped a few times on me to then reach the bed.  As she woke me up every times she did it, she realized that I was awake and asked for some tenderness.

Lucy is doing great.  Still no collar, she leaves her wound alone.  She even goes on her back to be petted.  I stay away from her tummy!!!.  I was able to see the incision and the stitches.  I thought that it was small, but it did look pretty bid.  I counted around 7 stiches.  We are sooooo glad she is bouncing back so quickly, especially at 14 years and 10 months.

Operation



Lucy is finally back at home.  She spent the entire day at the vet.  She is sleeping and still seems to be out of it, but the operation went well.  She should be back to normal in a few days.
The vet did 2 incisions of 1 cm in diameter and deep to the first lay of muscle, therefore, not very deep.  No be safe he did some stiches that Lucy should not disturb.  She was good last time.  We hope she will be good this time as well, as she does not like her collar.  They will be removed in 2 weeks.
The vet sent the lumps to be analyzed and we should get some results on Monday or Wednesday.

Lucy hate when she came home and inspected the house before going to rest in her corner.  We hope she will kick back to normal in no time again.

lumps



Dear All,

Sorry for not providing updates.  There was nothing to say. We have been enjoying Lucy for a little over one year after her mammary removal.  She is still acting as a kitten.
At the vet 2 weeks ago, he saw some lumps on her tummy and a weird shadow on her liver.  He also had concern with her heart, which would be normal for her age. We kept our fingers crossed until we got the results of the ultra-sounds that Lucy did last week.  Good News. Everything is fine.  No cancer, no heart problem, no issue, not even the liver.  
Nobody knows what the lumps are but it is recommended by our vet and the specialist to have them removed.
There are 3 small ones and the incisions should be small and not deep.  Lucy will go to do this procedure on Thursday (in 2 days).  My concern is that she will need to be sedated, but it should be fine, even with her age (14 and a half).
We are so glad that we did the operation.  Lucy is doing outstanding.

Breast



Dear All,

We brought Lucy to the vet for a check-up.  We are very happy to let you know that she is doing great.  We asked the vet to do another x-ray.  He would have recommended the same, we were just faster :-)   Nothing showed up.  Lucy's remaining breast is fine and no shadows in her lungs. (It is where the cancer would have spread). Lucy is still playfull and eat well.  No weight gain.  She is a lady who really watch her figure.  

We wish you all a happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year filled with joy, health and fun.
