Hope you have both had a good night's sleep.
Thank you. Yes Molly has slept soundly all night next to me. She started to get restless and a bit whiny at about 8 last night so I did the bedtime routine and we both had a very early night. As soon as she got into her own bed upstairs she fell straight asleep and is still sleeping now (but she is never an early-riser anyway).
I've been told she needs to rest as much as possible and only very short on-lead walks for 2 weeks.

How is Molly doing @Joy ?
She seems to be recovering from the op really well thanks. I've been given a few days supply of Metacam for her and there's no sign that she's in pain. Eating and drinking normally, although yesterday her poo was very runny (TMI?!) The wound is on her back completely out of her reach so she doesn't need to wear a cone but she hasn't been trying to rub it on anything so at the moment I think it must feel ok. I've been told to keep it dry so yesterday (raining heavily) she wore a bizarre outfit of an old zip-up cardigan of mine with a plastic cover on top, held in place by her harness.

Check up on tomorrow and I expect to hear the results of the tests on the lump next week.

Molly had a vet check-up this morning and the vet said that the wound is healing really well. The dressing has now been removed to let the air get to it though it still needs to be kept dry, so fancy dress when going out is still the order of the day. No news yet about whether all the cancer has been removed.
One of the nice things was that Molly was waggy and friendly to the vet nurse who took her in (and that's really not Mollyish) so I think the nurse must have been especially kind to her. It made me feel a lot better.
