Part, I hope everything works out okay. You will be in our prayers.

I hope your dog stays healthy as long as it can. I personally love dogs more than most humans. Hell, when I hear about a dog dying it kills me.

Glad your dog is safe!

Part,

I'm a Dog man myself. As you know, I too have a Weiner Dog named Regis Philman. I also have the greatest dog ever named Shammy, a mutt comprised of Cocker Spaniel and Terrier. She's 15 but the nicest Dog in the world. I love her more than anything. Shes had fatty tumors all over her for a while now. The doc says their ok, but shes got a huge one on her shoulders that worries me. I love her so much. She's the best thing in the world and I'd do anything for her.

I hope your Dogs are ok. Dogs are the best. Here's hoping all Dogs live forever.

The Doc

Part,

I know how much your dog means to you and your family. I will hope for the best. You are doing everything you possibly can. He may surprise you and bounce right back, although maybe not perfectly. As long as he isn't in pain, that's the main thing.

Good luck Part. Keep us posted.

I hope he gets well soon Part. Poor little creature...

partagas- im glad to hear your little one is recovering well. at my job, we do surgeries like that on even older dogs. it sounds like you guys r doing a wonderful job caring for him post op all he needs is your tlc, little medical management for his pain and upkeep of that drain.

just curious what they do out in the midwest what sort of pain meds did they put him on?

As a fellow animal lover I know what you're going through now, Part. I'm happy to hear that the little guy is doing better.

I was scared to read your post, Part, cuz this stuff tears at my heart -- but it sounds like things are going well so far... knock on wood, and prayers all around!

But for the record, at least for me, it would take a golf ball rather than a soccer ball sized fatty anything for me to want it removed.

God bless you and your family, and nice to hear from you! We miss your jokes, man!

Sorry , my mistake this one was from flame not dmc

is it all about looks? his vet was right tho lipomas r usually just aesthetic (sp?) the problem buck ncountered with his leg and the growth under the lipoma dont correlate with each other

Part, I know how it feels when a pet of yours is ill. In my opinion there is not much difference when a human or a pet member of my family is ill. Love is love. You don't weigh it out according to the species.
So I do hope and pray that your dog is better and that he will get by. And I'm sure he's ok now! And please, my dear friend, if you need to vent, please, don't hesitate. We are here to share! Keep us updated!

Hugs to you and a gentle stroke to your doggie!

It's not aesthetics as much as simply just something that doesn't belong there.

If it was just about aesthetics, I'd've had my belly removed for being basketball sized!

once again from flame not dmc <---too lazy at this hour to change names

but a lipoma is just a collection of fat in an unusual place that is always benign and you can tell the difference on palpation between a lipoma and an actual tumor

I see, and I guess you're right. The size of it can just freak me out, even for no reason. (I actually learned a new word tonight - thanks! )

So, a lipoma is the opposite of my collection of fat, in the usual place...

He got the sweetest eyes in the world, Part!
The wound is a little scary, but from your update I understand he's much better and no doubt he's going to fully recover very soon! Please, spoil him as much as you can (no doubt you do!! )

And please, keep us updated.

his incision looks great Part i was just curious about the meds to compare to what we use out here. the ab is cephalexin, the pain meds r new to me ive never heard of them unless in the dr's chickenscratch handwriting the pain reliever is rimadyl

Buck really looks wonderful and the incision area looks great. dmc and i will continue to keep him in our prayers

All the best!

Oh Part, it is all so sad. I've gone through something like that with one of my dogs two years ago, and I know what you feel!
Hold on. Thank God, dogs recover much easier than people.
I wish all the best to you all and will certainly pray for dear doggie!

That is funny Part. I am so happy for you and your family that he is doing better and he is on the road to recovery. TLC works wonders

It's good to hear he's doing better!

Yes, Part, let's hope for the best!
My kiss to dear doggie.

Part,

I'm sorry very glad that your dog seems to be getting back into good health. All you can do is hope for the best.
I hope everything works out man.

Part, I prefer to concentrate on good news and it's great to hear that your dog is doing sooooo well! As for bad news, I'm sure your vet is right! So don't be worried about the future, enjoy the moment. Your dog is well now. Isn't it all that counts? Please, keep us updated!
