Zara asking DC members for prayers and positive thoughts.

[Kaiser2016]

She wanted to be back to normal.

But she slipped on the kitchen floor this morning and opened up the incision where the mass was. Had to re-visit the vet (in a snow storm) for a couple of sutures. Our vet said it could take 2-3 weeks to heal. No steps, no jumping and no running or playing.
The incision is just in a very bad place near the elbow which moves all the time. On total lock down now in her crate.

I'm glad I have more Bourbon.

They are so enthusiastic it’s hard to keep them down for long. Definitely time for

Wishing Zara quick healing and no more excitement for a while!

Oh boy you didn't need a setback but prayers are sent for a quick recovery now. It's not easy keeping these dogs down.

 

[jazzies mum]

Going to be a very long 2-3 weeks I reckon. Maybe more than a little bourbon needed! Best wishes sent!

 

[MyBuddy]

Its hard even for humans! For a dog that doesn't understand it's worse. Going to be a tough go but you'll get through it! She needs a couple of kids to read a story to her while she rests. Keep her company.

Prayers sent.

@strykerdobe how is Zara doing overall?

Did want to pop in here and mention I did have Rubie's lump aspirated (same looking lump in the exact same area as Zara's) and it came back as lipoma. Thank you, @strykerdobe for sharing your experience and making me ask to make sure that what the vet thought was the case

Glad Rubie's was only a Lipoma.

Zara is doing great all healed and back to normal rough housing.
Boosting her Vit. D levels and giving her immune boosting supplements.
Our Integrative Vet checked her Vit D level and it was low. Lots of cancer patients their Vit D levels are low. Vit D is very important for the immune system.
Just have to watch the area if anything grows back.
It was just in a bad spot near a movable joint.

That looks like it's healed nicely! Hoping it's all clear now!
