She sounds like she is doing pretty well so far. Congrats on the pee!! Yes, we celebrate every victory around here. Maggie didn't poop until day 5 or 6, I think partly because she was having trouble spinning!
Keep us posted on Sky's progress.

Today is 7 days after the amp and Sky is definitely well on the road to recovery....my wife and I are now trying to slow her down until the stitches come out next weekend. We did have a little bad news when the oncologist called with the results of testing on the affected leg. The tumor itself was classified as 'an aggressive Grade II' and the mast cells had metastasized to the lymph node just behind her knee joint. Looks like we will be starting her on chemo next week and will follow through with the recommended 8 treatments over 12 weeks. We are hoping she doesn't have any negative reactions to the drugs...seems like she's been through enough already. We will update again soon, thanks!

I'm so glad to hear that she's doing so well. Yes it IS hard slowing them down so they heal isn't it? Have you checked out our games and activities to keep Tripawds entertained during recovery?
I'm sorry to hear about the path report but it definitely sounds like the plan is giving her a great chance at beating the odds! We will be cheering you on so keep us posted.
