How's your baby doing?

Orca's surgery (last one we'll do), seems to be a success. They removed his right eye (what was left of it, it was pretty dried out) and a whole mess of tissue behind it. It wasn't the same kind of "cheesy" gooey tissue, but it came out easily in fibrous chunks and the vet said it could be tumor or a different kind of abscess. While he was under, she also removed another small (pus filled) abscess that was near his previous incision. Basically, she called him an Abscess Factory. He came out of anesthesia pretty quickly, such a trooper. I actually helped out a little during the surgery (running with surgical scrub, holding his mask and helping with the final flush of the site). I'm truly blessed to work at a shelter and have awesome vets and staff willing to go the extra mile for my rat baby!

I hope this is the end of issues with Orca, it sounds like he really wants to live, he's a fighter.

 

[Asheka]

Wow, such a fighter you have!! I sincerely hope this will be the last of it and he heals up fast!

 

[mamarat]

Glad everything went well!

 

[Cigar]

He's full of fighting spirit. He's lucky to have a parent that didn't give up on him.

he's doing really well, eating and without any girdle or collar. Through everything he's still Orca.

:joy:

How is Orca today?

 

[yoni]

he's doing really well. Totally himself.

Just gave Orca his evening meds. He pushed at the syringe as if to say "Aww mom, do I have to?!"

He's being feisty and sweet, which is a good thing! :thumbup:

I'm so glad Orca is doing well despite everything.
