Lulah got her results and they're great!
Her tumour was 'low grade' I'm assuming this is like a grade 1. The results were that it is out. We have to check her very regularly for any new lumps and check the area on her leg that this one was removed from to make sure it doesn't grow back. Obviously if she gets more they have to be removed as well and if any do appear the faster the better. However she may not get another one. Here's hoping!
When she got home she was very tired. This rather nifty bandage had to stay on for 2 days. She was totally oblivious to it!
And here she is with the bandage off and modelling her stitches. These can come out next Monday.
She's been under strict orders not to run around like a crazy thing, no jumping, no playing with her ball, no swimming in the stream. In fact as far as she's concerned pretty much nothing she loves. We thought this was going to be a total nightmare as, anyone who knows Lulah, could tell you that being quiet and calm is not one of her strongest points. However, she has been a total angel.
We're SO happy and SO relieved.
Just thought I'd let you know, and say thank you once again. You folk are the best!!
Good to hear!
ReplyDeleteyeah, it was not chocolate dogs' time just now!
DeleteYES! This is absolutely GREAT news and I can just imagine the immense relief. Glad it hasn't been too difficult to keep her calm and collected as well. Sending big celebratory hugs to y'all!
ReplyDeletethanks :) TBH if the news had been bad I would have most likely gone to pieces - I had totally convinced myself it was going to be ok!
DeleteI'm so pleased you had good news.
ReplyDeleteHug to Lulahxxx

Thank you my upside down friend! I hope the rain stays off for you. I'll be getting my seeds in when we come back from our holiday - mid August. Always exciting!!
DeleteGreat news, glad she got the OK. Louise

DeleteSuper! Super! Super!
ReplyDeleterelief! relief! relief!
DeleteWooo whooo for Lulah! That's great to hear. We'll still send her our best.
ReplyDeleteaw thanks, Jenny, her wounds are healing really well. Stitches out on Monday
DeleteWell, that is great, great news! I am so happy for all three of you!
ReplyDeletethank you so much! we're pretty delighted!
DeleteWhat a relief - that is fantastic. Doesn't look like they made her wear one of those 'bucket' collars either, which is even better as they hate them. Best of healing wishes to her :)
ReplyDeleteno, they didn't. Vet told us that there's new research to show that they are very stressful for the animals so they only do it as a total last resort. Lulah hasn't shown the slightest interest in any of her stitches so she's been fine. I think shes got a huge pain threshold!!
Deletethanks xx
Glad to hear she's on the mend. She deserves lots of cuddles and scatches for being such a good girl.
ReplyDeletedon't worry shes getting them!! so are the other 2 so they don't feel all left out!
DeleteThis is such fantastic news Laura. I'm completely amazed that your girl is taking it in her stride and being a such a good little thing for you both!
