Update:

Today we meet with the surgeon and have chest, heart and left hind leg x-rays taken. After these are done, we will consult with the surgeon and make a decision to amputate tomorrow or euthenize her (if the cancer has spread to her lungs or left rear leg).

More to come.

Here is a picture of Porsche from a year or two ago.

I wanted to update you all.

Porsche had surgery on Thu, Nov 13 to remove her right rear leg. She made it through surgery with no issues. Friday, Nov 14 was a recovery day and she slept for most of the day and the staff kept opiates in her to cope with the pain. We visited her Friday afternoon and she perked up immediately when we visited. She also at this time had the space collar on, had a drain tube where her leg was, a drain tube in her nose, an IV and a catheter.

We came back and visited her today in the afternoon and she was MUH better. She sat up and the staff worked with her in a sling and she walked out of the vet hospital onto a grass area outside the hospital. We spent about 30 minutes with her and she loved it. She had lost the former leg drain tube and the tube in her nose. While we had her outside, she lost the space collar.

We then had the staff walk her back into the kennel. At that time. She ate a slice of bacon and a chocolate free cupcake.

We expect to get her home on Sunday (tomorrow).
