Sending some postive thoughts your way. I hope everything goes well.

Well, PHEW! Everything went swimmingly!!!

Teeth are beautiful, tumor was removed completely from both the tooth (NO extractions! YEA!) and under the eye (stitches, yuck), and the lip warty thing was removed, too. They did a great job on those toe nails! Lou was in wonderful, HIGH spirits when we picked him up this evening! It was a totally different spoo boy that came home then went in this morning. He isn't suffering from any after affects from the anesthesia, he happily ate the special Science Diet dental soft food and softened kibble (3-4 days of that), he took his antibiotic (Clavamox-12 days), pain meds (Carprofen-2-3 days) start tomorrow morning, and he just seems to be his old awesome self again. Pretty sure that any infection and pain he felt had him down. The vet had said that he was completely ok with skipping the Histopathology, and because I am now having issues with another pup, I had to keep the expense down. BUT, he will be checked regularly!!! I am so relieved that he is home safe, healthy, and looking good! And I am so very tired, as is Lou. We both say Thank You for all the support and help. PF and it's members rock!!!

ps: Lou had a nice steak last night before the food cut off and then sacked out. 100% positive he thinks THAT should happen more often!

Yay!!!! So glad for the good outcome for Lou, I'm sure you're relieved! Take care & give him lots of hugs!!!

That is fantastic! I think you should plan another steak night for yourself and Lou to celebrate the good news and to speed his recovery.

ArcadiaX: So glad the things went so well for Lou, and your vet was able to spare the tooth.

Although the Tooth Fair won't be paying Lou a visit, I know you'll be showering him with special treatment. I can only imagine how much more comfortable he must already be feeling--what a nice boy he is to withstand the pain and procedure so well! I wish him a speedy recovery, and share your relief things worked as they did. Good to hear your vet will be keeping a close eye on Lou going forward. Rest up, both of you!!
