Mast Cell Tumor - Boxer

[KDENISE977]

Thank you. I'm going to work from home the day after her surgery so I can be home with her. I'm not sure how the recovery goes but if I had surgery I know I would want my mom there

Hi there !! Multiple boxer home/lover/enthusiast here
Please let me know how things work out, I've also had many a skin tag/mast cell/tumor surgery in my life !!
They are resilient wonderful dogs...I couldn't imagine my life without them !!

Do I need to stay home with her the day after surgery?

I have other dogs in the house and I dont want them bugging her

yes.... always helps to keep an eye on her afterwards.. makes sure the meds are doing what they should.

call me if you need anything... or have questions... I can come by and check her out if you get worried about anything...

If you can stay home with her, I would. The first 24 hours after a Surgery are critical.

most surgeries...

... I worry more on her taking meds, meds not making her sick, her eating, not vomiting

 

[Manolo]

This dog LOVES to eat. Actually meds are never a problem. I just say the word "cookie" and throw it at her lol. She thinks they are treats I know I wont be "THROWING" them at her but I'm hoping its still that easy. Should I keep her locked in the room with me? I have other dogs in the house.

limited activity... no running, jumping, climbing steps, ... no playing with housemates. Leash walk to go potty and return for cuddle time with mom!

I have always kept mine apart when something is going on.

How is the Patient today? I know that you are really worried about the Pup, but when you get a chance, let us know how things are going.

She had a very very rough night last night. Poor girl cried all night long. Here is a pic of her incision. ITS HUGE. The next picture is her in her daddies Tshirt. We got a hint from a nice tech that said to do this instead of the E collar because its much more cozy for her

Thanks for all of the support.

That hurt me just looking at it. Hoping for a speedy recovery and less pain.

So sorry to hear about your 4legged child. We lost our girl in November of last year, after 18 years together. Still miss her so much. We got her from the Tricounty when she was 8 weeks old.
