Catt, glad the surgery is over and Biscuit is recovering. Is he still staying quiet? It's hard to keep a boxer down. I'm sorry I've been out of town and haven't checked on things. When do you get the results of the lymph node?

He's much better today but he seems like he's sore. He really wants to run and hang with the other dogs, he hates being confined to one room. He's on the couch (shh....not supposed to be..) with Ott having his incision iced, which he really likes.

We are supposed to get the biopsy results in 5-7 days so I'd think that would be later this week.

How's Indy?

How's Indy?

you know, I'll bet he is sore. He has alot of stitches and the doc probably did a good bit of cutting and rooting around to make sure they got all the cancerous tissue. Plus it's right there on his arm where there's alot of movement, you know, muscles and all.

:flowers: Flowers for Biscuit. We'll keep it a secret that he's on the couch.

Well, Biscuit is home. He's really worn out and on good pain meds..tramadol. He's sound asleep. He can't do much of anything for the next two weeks until the sutures are removed.

The third pictures says it all. He looks like he's been through the ringer. I hope he feels better soon.

Gosh, I just got a GOOD look at the pictures, WOW those are some incusions. I hope he has a good day. Keeping my fingers and Indy's paws crossed for a good report on the lymph nodes and getting a clean margin around the tumor. If you ever need to "bring him to work" I can babysit during the day. We love boxers in our "construction trailer" and Biscuit would be welcome ANYTIME. I'm not that far from where you work. I'm at Wisconsin Avenue and K Street, NW. Even my dog hating boss has warmed up to Indy and even lets him visit his office we we first get in. I baby gate him in during the day so he's not too disruptive.

I had a much needed break last week and Indy went to the breeders for the week. I was glad she got to spend some time with him and see how amazing this mediciation is. We went from no meds for a week to every 3rd day at a lower dose. Last week (Tuesday) we got the good news of meds every other day again but still at the lower dose. She got to give him the Palladia for 3 doses. She couldn't believe you could see a difference the next day. We have 2 more weeks of every other day and hopes that the white blood cells will do their thing and we can keep going. So last week was a good week and I'll count that as a BLESSING!! My miracle boy is happy to be home and hanging in there.

Thanks for asking!

Excellent News

Clean margins and preliminary results on the lymph node show no involvement...not cancerous..just reactive. :yahoo:

The lab will do a few more "stains" with the lymph node but surgeon said this is a great outcome for Biscuit.

I sure am. When she called and asked how I was doing, I said, "You tell me." She said, "You are doing great!" Now, let's focus everything on Indy! I still want to get these boys (and the mommies) together.

Hey Catt, has Biscuit gotten his stitches removed yet?

and Indy and I would love to meet up with ya'll!!

Stitch removal isn't until Tuesday, 10/13. The last few days the area around the incision is "fatty" looking. No redness, not warm and he certainly is not feeling bad. It does not appear infected. I'm going to call his surgeon today.

As for meeting up...we need to work the logistics. :yay:
