Bogart came through the surgery really well. They removed his spleen, which had a cancer mass between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball. considering the little fellow only weighs 9.8-10.5 lbs (varies due to his eating habits) this was an incredibly large mass. We picked him up yesterday evening, and he was rambunctious...after being home for 1-2 hours, the pain started setting in. He moved around alot uncomfortable, unable to lie still. His face said everything, " I am sad..." Poor fellow didn't get any sleep last night (nor did we, felt so helpless).
Doc says within a few days he'll be himself again (instead of impersonating Don Knotts from the "Shakiest Gun In The West").
Really looking forward to having a healthy puppy again (o.k., so he's 14, but he still seems very puppy-ish)...
So to all my CVO family, may you and your pets be healthy and happy and live very long lives!
