So Rose (the one with the vaginal bleeding) the bleeding has completely stopped but she had a respiratory flare and her surgery was postponed.
Then my Ivy, poor girl has gone under two times. The first time she had 2 removed and the 2nd time she had four removed (three incisions). Now she has another one that will have to be removed as it is in her rectal area and as it gets bigger can cause major problems.
And poor Clover she had one removed and did not do to well under anesthesia (the vet said she just did not want to go to sleep) and she was groggy for at least 36 hours after the surgery. If this tumor was anywhere but her rectal area I would just leave it be but it will eventually cause problems with her bowels and I just don't want that.
Lilly who is going on 26 months and constantly sneezes has a very small tumor on her side that is about the size of a pea and has remained that size for about a month and well it will just have to stay there as I do not feel she is healthy enough to go under and come out okay. But fingers crossed it stays that small for as long as possible.
I love my girls so much and will do anything for them. So they will all be going in together to have surgery (depleting my vet fund, but that is what it is for). Once all of my girls are gone I am going to rescue a few boys and just have them neutered it really seems to be the way to go when it comes to these nasty tumors. If I had a reliable vet to spay everyone I would in a heartbeat but I don't. :?
Thanks for listening to my rant. :rant:
