"Luke"
A lot has been going on in Luke's world the past two week.
It all started with an annual visit to the vet. We were hoping that all would go well with his blood work and to get re-fills on his medications. Each time he has a vet appointment they will remeasure the lump (mass) on his right back shoulder to ensure it's not growing.
Well...
the mass has grown since his last vet visit.
After discussing our options with the vet, we were referred to a local surgeon specialist. We set up an appointment to have him take a look at Luke. The surgeon was very optimistic that he could remove it. Luke was scheduled for the removal surgery two days later. We brought Luke back and dropped him off at 7am that morning. He was first on the days schedule. After a long day of waiting, at 4pm we were updated that Luke was doing fine and came through the surgery very well. Luke had to stay over night and the next day we called at 7:30am for an update. The surgeon had already checked out Luke that morning and he was doing well enough to be able to come home.
I arrived at the hospital at 10:00am to pick up Luke. He has an 8" scar with several stitches He was still a little out of it from the medication, being real still and tail down. I loaded Luke up in the truck and away we went.
Luke is very sore and has been sleeping on the bed all day. Almost time for his next round of medication.
So far... So good...
