Chippy's got a lump (benign cystic teratoma.....extra ingrown mammary gland)

[Maureen Las]

I hope that both you and Chippy get some rest.
You both certainly had a big day!
I really hope the lump is gone now for good :sickbunny:
You will be busy spoiling your little girl this weekend

Get well Chippy so Daddy can get some rest

So glad to hear that the dr was able to remove the mass. And even happier to know that Chippy has been eating, drinking, and pooping!!!

Praying that she continues to stay well,

Poor little Chippy looks so vulnerable in tose pics.

Glad that they managed to remove the whole mass - hopefully that means it's gone for good. And great that she's eating/pooping etc.

Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Chippy is such a trooper....and she looks so sweet in those pics. Thanks for sending those, Jim.

How is she doing today? And how are you? I hope things settle down for both of you now!

ray: for Chippy, you and the rest of your household!

Last night was pretty scary.
She would get better and then start to get shocky again.
It was a long night.
I think I fell asleep around 3am for an hour or so while I was laying in front of her pen.

She's doing really good today.
I let her out for some runtime and she seemed so much more comfortable....running, binkying, flopping..:bunnybutt:

She's eating like a little pig ....drinking. pooping, & peeing normal too.

The stitches look good....I'm sure it's sore, but not too swollen.

I think we're both happier....and both tired.
She was all flopped-out-snoozy last I saw.....me too pretty soon.

We go to see Dr.C tomorrow afternoon for a followup.


Thanks for all of the support!!
What a great herd this is!!

:group:

 

[Maureen Las]

Glad that today was good
..'yes ,I agree, this is a great herd

I hope you continue to be blessed in this journey with Chippy.

You didn't go to bed with her in your arms? She didn't come between you & Mrs D?

Oh my.....all I ask is ... don't tell Art. I think he suspects I only tell him a bunny is sleep so I can snuggle with it in my arms at night...:biggrin2:

I'm glad to see she's doing better....

 

[JimD]

Chiippy is doing very good!!!

DrC was excited about how good the site looked.
He gave her another injection of Baytril.
And we go back to see him on Tuesday.

DrC is a good man....he has a good heart and soul.
And, on top of that.... he's a great vet, too!!!!
I feel truly blessed that I have found someone so compassionate about what they do for people & their pets.

I think I'll just relax for the rest of the day.
Everything that needs to be done, is done.

Leftyover Chinese food for lunch....yummmmmmm.
A bunch of good old movies on the tube...Swiss Family Robinson.....Pollyanna....Parent Trap. With a couple of others in between....Heavyweights.....Journey of Natty Gann.

Got my beer and nachos for later.....

I'm good for the day! :biggrin2:

"Thank You"... to all of my Forum Family .... (aka....THE HERD !! :bunnydance: )

And prayers & good thoughts to those in need.

Thanks, Peg!
You've got so much going on yourself.
I hope all is going as well with you and yours.
:hug:


I wish Chippy would have let me hold her..., but she's not much of a snugglybun.

I think she understands that I'm trying to do the best for her, though.:nod

Today's vet visit went better.
She didn't stress as much during the ride...especially the ride home.
Our appointment was for 12pm....we were home by 1pm....and it's a 20 minute ride.
He examined her...gave her a quick jab....talked for a bit....and we were on our way.

Just finished lunch....& the dog is laying on my feet...Does it get any better?

 

[Bunnicula]

Sounds like you are in for a great day of relaxation...which you deserve.

Enjoy your movies, leftover Chinese, and beer & nachos!

However, last night I noticed Chippy's hocks had started to develop sores....always a sign that something else is amiss.

Her hocks are starting to heal up nicely!

 

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

Oh, Jim....this is the first chance I've had to get on the computer today...at a friend's retirement bash all day.....I'm soooo relieved that Chippy is coming along so well. It sure is an answer to prayer, and it sounds like Dr. C is an answer to prayer as well.

Hope you all have had a relaxing, flopped-out, snoozing kind of day. Take care.

Continued ray: for Chippy....

Such good news, Jim. Chippy (and her Daddy) are made of strong stuff

[JadeIcing]

I am so glad shes doing well. Give her a crasin for me.

 

[JimD]

We've got another followup visit tomorrow at 11:15am.
She'll get another injection of Baytril if DrC thinks it warrants it.
I don't think he'll mess with the stitches, yet. They're dissolving, but he said he'd probably need to remove some of them.

Chippy is doing okay.
The surgery site looks good.
Eating/drinking/peeing/pooping....all ok.
Her poops are a little lighter in color than usual, but that may be result of the Baytril.

Tomorrow will be a long day. I'll go to work and then leave to go to the vet. And then I'll go back to work.

oi !
