| Tiberius on the ride home from the hospital. |
Our Golden Retriever, Tiberius ( or just Ty for short), is back home today after a major surgery yesterday. The doctors removed a large tumor like mass from his abdominal area. It was near the aorta so the procedure was high risk. Ty came through very well after a three hour surgery.

| He's wearing a collar cone - doesn't look very comfortable. |
We picked Ty up from the animal hospital this morning and he looked a lot more chipper and spry than I would have thought. His recovery is 10-14 days and he gets to wear the Elizabethan Collar until the stitches are removed. We will get the biopsy report on the tumor in about five days and we are hoping that it is not cancerous. The fact that the surgeons did not find any other tumors is a positive sign.
Well done on getting the surgery done, I hope Ty and you all come through this experience well, and the Biopsy is ok!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Ty and the family. Thank you for letting us all know Jim. Dogs are A+ beings in my thinking and heart. Give him a pat for me.

Agreed. Glad he came through with flying colors from the look of it.

Good news! They always look so cheesed off at having to wear the 'cone of shame', LOL!
ReplyDeleteGreat news and fingers crossed on the test results. I think you should wear a similar collar - in solidarity with Ty, of course.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Ty pulled through the tricky part. I hope the healing and after goes as well.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear he's on the mend!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Ty's speedy recovery and a good report on the biopsy. What a great looking fellow he is! Cheers, Rohan.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Ty from Dan, my spaniel....and from me too!
ReplyDeleteIt's all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone.....glad the old boy is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteTy is doing much better on Day Three post surgery. He is walking around now, eating and drinking water on a regular basis. He has two more days of being on pain killer meds so he is still a little bit stoned.
