I have just returned home with Sam. She is a bit wobbly from the sedation. But seems OK all things considered. She ate some food, drank water. And went out to the grass to watch her sister
Taz, frap around in circles.
From the photo, you can see how large, just the glands on
her neck are. Shaved and stitched from
the procedure today.
She was prescribed a heavy dose of steroids for the next six
days. This will bring down the enlarged
lymph nodes throughout her long Corgi body.
This is not a cure, only to make her comfortable. She will be drinking more, and needing to
potty more.
A biopsy core was taken from her neck, abdomen, and her hind
quarters. This will give a good sample
for the lab. The doctor mentioned there
was no puss around the lymph nodes, which “could” mean, no infection. Then, “could” mean the initial diagnosis of
Canine Lymphoma. We will know more
from the lab on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
Until then we wait. Once we know
more, we will be have a detailed conversation with the Doctor about treatment
options.
I am happy she is home.
Her sister Taz greeted her at the door.
Good she is back at home, and resting with her sister.
