Baron's lump

Oh, Robyn! We will definitely keep you and Baron in our thoughts and prayers. I sure hope 2009 starts getting better very, very soon! I haven't been impressed with the year so far. Hugs for you and belly scratches for Baron (and the rest of your crew).

Good thoughts sent your way. I hope it all turns out good and the growth is removed successfully.

Have they diagnosed the type of cyst this is? I was aghast at the proportions.

We're all pulling for you Baron!

I just dropped Baron off at the vet clinic. I'm very nervous about this. Positive vines and prayers are appreciated.

[BasenjiDiva]

You and Baron have been in my thoughts and prayers today. When will you hear anything? I hope all news is good news.

Waiting to hear about our boy Baron, hopefully just a big ugly benign cyst. Lots of good vibes headed your way.

Baron is home and he acts like nothing happened. He has his head in my lap hoping I'll drop some of my fried chicken on him. :p I wasn't able to speak with the vet after the surgery but she left some notes. The growth was attached in places to the underlying connective tissue. She removed all that she could but does not think she got all of it. A sample was sent to the University of Georgia for a biopsy and I should have results in 10-14 days. The scar is not as big as I was expecting but it is kind of ugly with all the stitches.

And the vet removed a little wart looking thing on his left side at no extra charge.

I totally forgot to buy an e-collar so I had to come up with something out of stuff I had here. I used a couple of stiff folders wrapped in a towel and duct taped around it. It's a bit bulky but it was the best I could do with no one to help.

[MacPack]

Not pretty, but they did have enough skin to close it and that's good! Fingers crossed for a good pathology report. Keep feeding him fried chicken!

Glad he is home safe and sound. It is so frightening to have them put under for a procedure!

[bellabasenji]

Keep us posted on the results!

[barklessk9]

Aww - poor fella! Glad to hear he's feeling okay though. :) Best wishes to you both.

Wow…that is some incision! Looks like they really had to work to pull it together. I have my fingers crossed and sending good vibes for him. Let us know when you hear about the pathology.
