Jessie Mast Cell Tumor 2; The Hind Paw Sagas ... clean removal, all margins
clear. She's home and recovering from the pain and anesthesia meds.
This is a dog who does not suffer the cone of shame well, but to keep her from biting and licking her surgical wound, she's wearing it 10-14 days. I trimmed it a little so half the circumference will make food and water easier to ingest. When she's done we slide the cone around to keep her from nibbling her toe.

Less upsetting to him having a full filed of vision and being soft.

was on her back near her tail. She couldn't get to that with the soft donut so the large hood/collar wasn't necessary. With this new one, Jessie can still get to lick or nibble at her left hind paw, so the big collar is required. We don't like it, either, but she's adapted to it very well overnight. By around 7/31 or 8/1 we can take it off.

his vet hospital is staffed by top notch folks. Over the years, we've had a number of great veterinarians, but these guys are amazing.

We are fortunate too.. God forbid we need urgent or serious care, we also have a Hokie Vet right down the street as well. This guy left a tenure track at the VA Tech Vet School because he wanted to treat animals and not just do research and teach. He started Veterinary Referral and Critical Care (VRCC) in Manakin Sabot and we about have a wing dedicated to us by now...A GREAT vet!
Glad your baby is doing well!!
