Ryder - RIP - RESULTS ARE BACK

[KatTheHippie]

This is so great! Such good news to hear Ryder's finally through with that horrible thing, I hope he has a speedy recovery!

 

[jorats]

Yay!!!!! :bliss:
Your vet will soon be a pro at this.

 

So glad to hear! It can only get better from here, right?

I hope! unless the darn thing grows back!

Yay!!!!! :bliss:
Your vet will soon be a pro at this.

:mrgreen: I think so! He has done the following for me so far:
7 neuters (1 heart attack, 1 complications 6 days later, the rest were fine)
1 Spay + 3 mammary tumor removals
1 small lumpectomy during Toby's neuter (he had a small mole type thing in that area)
and now Ryder's HUGE tumor.

I'll get him to be a pro soon enough :giggle:

Great news. Do you get to take him home today?

 

Yes, Brad is picking him up at 6 pics later

 

[rattytat]

I'm sure you're not anxious or excited or anything :dance: Give him a big hug (carefully) for us all!!

 

The hubby just called! Ryder is home. The surgery was more invasive than they thought ..it was attached from the neck to the chest ..looks like it started in the salvary gland, but they did get all of it. He has to go back next Friday (April 20) ..he has one big stitch apparently (I have not seen it, just telling you what the hubby said). He was given pain meds after surgery, but not sent home with any nor sent with baytril ..I think he was given injectable baytril (I have to call them a check on my break). Pictures to follow!

ETA: he is up going aound with Badger

ETA: The tumor weighed 300 grams!!

 

[Unepuce]

Good news that they were able to remove it all!!!

and 300 gr?????? :thud:

He must be so happy, now!!!

 

ETA: He was not given any baytril nor sent home with any.but I do have some here. I will weight him when I get home. The amount I have is 25 mg/ml ..wieght unknown atm!

 

[rhapsody]

Of course, the next big question is:

With 300grs gone from his neck, is little Ryder still dumbo-eared? :mrgreen:

 

[victoria]

He may not need antibiotics after surgery, especially at that age. If you really feel more comfortable with abs, I would ask the vet for something other than Batryl so that he doesn't start becoming immune to it. That's just my opinion though. Glad to hear the surgery was successful.

 

[tinytippytoes]

Wow that means it weighted more than his real weight? It must have been very hard for him poor fella its so nice to hear that he is home . Now I'm wondering does he still have dumbo ears LOL

 

[lilspaz68]

You will need the ibuprofen if you don't have metacam. Its going to be quite an incision.

I think you said he weighed 480 grams prior to surgery, so now he only weighs 180 grams??

 

I do have IBP, but I can get metacam,

Weight I wont really know until tonight when I get home. he was 520 grams Friday when I weighed him, his brother was 4800 grams.

I have baytril pred and doxy here. He said I could use baytril if I wanted to

 

Oh and we adopted them

[Sharlees rattakisses]

300 grams!!
Holy Mother of God.... :thud:
Just imagine if a human had a tumor with the same ratio?!! :shock:
