Sorry I haven't been on in a few. Polly has been doing really well, too much so. She does not want any assistance, will fight you if you try to pick her up, and is back on all the furniture. We've been putting a t-shirt on her with her cone at bedtime to be safe, but every morning we awake to find the t-shirt off and lying around. We have not figured out how she is getting it off, she even manages to leave the rubberbands in place that we are using so it didn't drag or hang so far down. She does not seem to care that it is only 1 week and a day since surgery. Tuesday she is supposed to get her sutures out.

Unfortunately, we got the pathology results today, and they do show that it has metastasized. She has an appointment on Aug 20th with the medical oncology team to see where we go from here. The surgical oncology team believes chemo of some sort is the next step. Just have to wait and see what the med team says and realistically whether or not we can afford it. I know that sounds terrible, but I have read it could cost thousands and thousands of dollars. I hope that we can come up with an option that is viable for her and us. We love her so much......Guess we will just have to wait until the 20th and see.

Otherwise, she is doing good on her meds. We have finally figured out her dose on the secondary stress med for her rain trauma. She is eating good, and sleeping fine. Hopefully soon we will sleep too.

Polly got her sutures out this past Tuesday and the docs said her healing looked great and she was doing fantastic. She is still not totally back up.to her pre surgery level, but pretty close. Now that she can go back outside without the leash, she is going further and further everyday. You wouldn't think she was just over two weeks post surgery. Couple more weeks and she will probably be ready to do the trail thru our property again ( we have over 20 acres). Hardest part currently, is she does not appreciate losing all the extra snacks that went with her medicine.lol

Happy to have her normal pushy self 🙂
