[Gpdd] [HEALTH] Popcorn's tumour

Hello everyone

Well, if there is such a thing as a good tumour, Popcorn has one.  It appears to be limited to his left nipple area and seems to be contained near the skin.  When we were at the vet and she felt the tumour we had a small geyser of blood come out of the nipple.  Very disturbing to everyone, including the vet who looked like a survivor of a slasher flick.

So to make a long story short, Popcorn goes in Wednesday March 29 for preop and has his surgery Thursday morning.  If all goes well, he should be back home that night.  We have to take antibiotics until then and Popcorn has become quite resigned to being wrapped in a towel and syringed.  We cuddle afterward and boy do I ever get told off.  Sometimes we get a nip on the finger for good measure.

I would like to thank all the GPDD'ers who emailed me privately and through the digest, sending healing wishes and personal stories of their own.  You all helped to ease my mind and help me accept that whatever is decided by the Higher Powers, I must accept.  We will keep you posted about Pocorn's progress as the week goes on.

Love and Wheeks
Deborah Tanovich
