Well, as you know, I was upset yesterday because I got the news that my Kasey had a tumor on her leg that had grown to a huge size and the Vet was convinced it was cancerous since it was growing so fast.
Good news and great news...
She went through the surgery just fine and they were able to remove the complete tumor (about the size of 3-4 baseballs combined going around her to the inside of her leg). Back in April, it was only about the size of 1 baseball but grew so quickly that if she hadn't had the surgery it could have broken open and the only thing they could have done at that time was put her down. They were able to remove every bit of it which yesterday they were in doubt because they thought it was in the muscle too much and would only be able to remove 3/4 of it.
Anyway, the best news, after they examined it the have a strong feeling that it was not cancerous and was just a tumor. Thank goodness...of course they can't say for certain since I opt out of them doing a biopsy (lack of money)...but at least they feel comfortable saying they really don't think it's cancerous.
Looks like I'm going to have Kasey for much longer than what they first thought. Yesterday they gave me 6 mo. - year but now it can be much longer...YAY!
I get to pick her up tomorrow morning. The kids are excited too. Sierra keeps saying "Kasey's boo-boo is better". Even though the "boo-boo" is better, there is going to be a different kind of "boo-boo" and I'm wondering what she will say when she sees it...I'm sure she'll ask my why Kasey's still hurt. I'll just tell her at least this "boo-boo" will heal and Kasey will be back to normal soon.
I'm going to get a nice Thank You card for my vet tomorrow because of how they helped my small family out with our beloved pet. Giving me such a huge discount and letting me pay it in 3 payments has gone above and beyond of what I had expected. I'll tell you this, if they hadn't done the discount, Kasey would have been put down yesterday for lack of money. I think $200 was well worth being able to keep my baby girl for much longer.
