OT - my kitty had surgery today
Just wanted to post an update. My kitty Cayenne had surgery today to remove the mass on her abdomen. When they shaved her belly for surgery, they discovered she had a second, smaller mass near the first one. So both were removed today. The larger mass must have been bigger or longer than I realized, because I was surprised at the length of the incision.
She seems to be doing fine now. She is busy licking her incisions. When she got spayed, she removed all but two of her stitches within two or three days or the surgery. I'm surprised the incision didn't open back up. This time, she has staples instead of stitches, which is probably good because she probably can't pull those out.
She wanted her dinner as soon as we got home, but she didn't eat too much. Then she wanted to go outside but of course I wouldn't let her. Now she's lying on top of my printer, napping and waking up to lick her incisions. She seems to be feeling OK.
We will get the results of the pathology stuff sometime next week to find out what kind of tumors we're dealing with.

Thinking good thoughts that the tumors are benign. It's amazing how fast animals bounce back. I couldn't keep Taz down for long after her surgery. And what is amazing to me is that she also had a great deal of incisions and stitches and now there isn't one scar! You could look at her tummy and never guess she had surgery. My can't I be more like a dog?
