Just a little worried

[kateincornwall]

Thank you dear friends . Sadly , Reuben has to have surgery to remove the lump , Sue said that it doesnt look like a mast cell tumour but there are other tumours, some cancerous, some not but that if the lump isnt removed now , it will most likely grow and be far more difficult to remove . Reuben was such a good boy , I feel so sad for him as he is not good after surgery, but it is for the best,bless him xxx

Not quite the post I was hoping to read - I hope this is a case of "a stitch in time".
Was it sedation or full anaesthetic? It is horrid seeing them post surgery, hope he feels better soon.

We are waiting for a date for his surgery and it will be full GA due to the location of the tumour . I am very upset but trying not to show it as Reuben picks up on my mood, bless him xxx

Sorry, I misunderstood- I thought they had done the procedure there and then.

That's good. I hope it's soon.

So sorry Kate, you are having a wretched time. I hope the surgery can take place as quickly as possible and it won't be cancer.

I hope you get a date soon x

Tatze had exactly the same op a couple of months ago. I hope it goes as well for Ruben as it did for her.

Kate, just reading this now - has Reuben had his surgery? I know we’ve talked since then and you didn’t mention anything being wrong with the big goof, so I hope that means that all has ended well!

 

[kateincornwall]

@Emily_Babbelhund , no the loon has not had his surgery yet , I am very disappointed in our Vets as they are just saying that Reuben is on the list but it is over two weeks now since I took him , not good enough really . I`m afraid that since the surgery was sold to a group , things are not going well, two lovely members of staff already left . I realise that some operations are more urgent but two weeks and no date given is pretty shabby xxx

 

[Stacia]

Not good enough Kate. It may mean that they don't consider Reuben's lump is not serious but that isn't the point! It may well be and you need to know, waiting is worrying.

Blow me , within ten minutes of writing the above, they rang to book Reuben in . They did offer next week but we have a few appointments booked and I wouldnt want to leave him , so he is booked in for Wednesday 21st October, two weeks tomorrow . I did remark that I thought he had been overlooked , but apparently , due to staff leaving and staff illness , non urgent surgeries have lagged behind . I will be glad to get it done and find out what the lump is xxx
