Possible Mast Cell Tumour

[Joy]

I know you'll be longing to have him home again. Molly recovered from her lump removal incredibly quickly (came home and hopped straight up onto the sofa) - it was hard to keep to the week of short on-lead walks the vet advised (though we did). I hope that Reuben reacts in the same way. xx

 

[Candy]

Glad to hear that he's coming round OK and very well done you for spotting what seemed to be such a small lump. Hope Reuben continues to recover well and that you both manage to get some sleep tonight.

 

[FayRose]

That's good, that he can come home soon. Gonna be a tiring and tough few days for you @kateincornwall , we'll be thinking of you and sending our love and very best wishes xx

 

[Cath]

Glad he is back where he belongs x

 

[Parodius]

Glad to hear he will be back home soon. Best wishes for a very speedy recovery x

He is awake, a bit woozy but has coped well and we can bring him home in about an hour and a half , Sue says that whilst the lump did appear to be tiny , it was deep and so for this reason she has taken very wide margins which will all go off to the Laboratory today for grading , results in about a week to ten days . Reuben cannot tolerate NSAI drugs so has been on paracetamol by drip and he will have some to bring home , stitches out in 10-14 days . I will drag a mattress into the sitting room and stay with him for a night or two or three xxxx

They can give him methadone Rory usually has that. If it's small though paracetamol should be enough.

Glad to hear the op is over and that he’ll be back home soon. Lots of love and hugs from here for you all.

Home, wobbly but home with a stash of tablets , his tail is still wagging xx

 

[kateincornwall]

I`m so glad to get him home . Sue told me that usually , they dont discharge them until very late afternoon but then she knows that I have been through this before and know what to do and what not to do . I have just bought him a harness which will arrive tomorrow, as a collar or slip lead might just catch the top of his wound, its a lovely padded breathable one in dashing black to match him xx

 

[jazzmynn]

Oh Kate….so glad he’s home with you.

How are YOU @kateincornwall ?
Probably exhausted.

How are YOU @kateincornwall ?
Probably exhausted.

Slightly frazzled xx I have a couple of memory foam mattress toppers so I will be sleeping on them in the sitting room for at least a couple of nights as I cant have Reuben jumping onto the bed . His wound is quite big due to the horrible lump being deep and larger than usual margins taken , so the last thing I want is for him to pull his stitches by jumping . If I dont sleep well , I can go to bed when Paul gets up, just for a couple of hours .
I`m also emotionally shattered, its such a worry but when I try to sleep , my brain decides to start overthinking

 

[Beanwood]

Make sure you give yourself time to decompress and rest after the awful stress you have been under the last week. Hopefully you will both get a good nights sleep tonight!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Make sure you are looking after yourself. Eat, drink, give yourself time out when you can
Remember you are still recovering too.

 

[Granca]

Thinking of you, Kate. I hope you and Reuben manage to get some sleep.

 

[Joy]

I hope both Reuben and you have a good night. x

 

[Cath]
