Update on Dixie? Any test results?

@AllThatJazzZ

Dixie is healing beautifully. She's happy, perky, and acting normally. Still waiting on pathology-maybe tomorrow.

Y'all, I'm mad as a hornet after reading this:

https://www.nbc12.com/2019/05/16/loved-death-is-euthanizing-pets-be-buried-with-dead-owners-ok/

Why the hell is this allowed? What kind of hideous person/family would do this? If the dog had been old and very sickly, I might rethink my position, but it wasn't.

Don't think that just because my emotions are very raw after just losing my baby girl is the reason this sets me off. Even if I still had both my little girls and they were young and healthy, I'd be mortified by this practice. There is always someone who would love to have an adult dog, especially one so well cared for. The older I and my friends get, the more I understand the truth of that. We don't have the energy (or sometimes even the lifespan) for puppies. Plus, we'd like to have all the chewing and housebreaking behind us. We have lost our furry kids (or soon will be) and very much want another companion to add joy to our lives -- and to force us get up off our lazy butts and take them on walks where we can watch with joy as they read and reply to their pee-mail. Then to read about the barbarian practice this horrible woman was allowed to do, well, that just cuts right to the heart.

I'm so angry, I could spit nails.
Our first foster almost had this done. The nurse taking care of the woman refused to do it and dropped Sassy of at our agency. She is now being spoiled rotten by an older couple.

Please keep my little girl Cassie in your thoughts and prayers. She is having a bunch of "Cocker" warts removed today. The Doctor does not want to put her under due to her age so he is going to use the laser with local anesthesia. Probably going to need the cone of shame for a week or two.

Cassie made it through her surgery jsut fine. They had to put her under, but she handled it like a trooper, going to pick her up now.

@Applewood and everybody
Dixie's oncologist isn't in today. I have to wait until Tuesday to learn the pathology results. Per their policy, the treating doctor is the only one who can give them to me. Meanwhile, my little sweetheart is doing very well.

Dixie's surgeon called with pathology. Breast tumor was a benign adenoma. Mast cell tumor outer margins good, deep margin still had some tumor cells. 20 to 50% chance of recurrence. One option is electrochemo with a electrodes placed on area and a low dose of IV chemo which somehow enters the stimulated cells. Stitches out Wednesday.

A mixed result.   :0001: for a Good Dawg.  Play with Dixie as much as you can when she gets healed from the surgery.

Dixie plowed her way into my heart from the start. I will do everything I can for her. Thank you for your prayers.

Happy that the tumor was benign.  Too bad that Dixie may still need chemo.  Did the doctor give you some idea how much this electro-chemo will cost?

@Applewood
Not yet. The oncologist will have options next week. I'll let you know. We spent about $4500 so far.

Well at least that is part of what we were hoping for. Still keeping you and Dixie in our prayers.

Miss Dixie got her stitches out today. We will give her two treatments of intralesional chemo. No IV, not systemic, no side effects. She'll have a great chance that the tumor won't recur.

@Cyber Liberty @Applewood @Sanguine

Thanks for caring about my little one. The electrochemo is a wonderful innovation. I wouldn't give her systemic chemo.
