#and they'll probably do bloodwork prior to surgery I think

[fbwzoo]

Well, we’re home. No surprises here - there’s an abdominal mass, likely on her uterus. Vet thought it felt a bit higher up, but it looked to be in the right spot on radiograph. So would have to do spay/exploratory surgery to be 100% sure that it’s on the uterus, only on the uterus, or if it’s started to spread. 

So the options are as expected - spay/surgery or keep comfortable & euthanize. Currently the surgery schedule is completely full next week. Vet said she can check with the other vets & see if anyone’s willing to add her to their schedule anyway, as it’d be better to get it done sooner rather than later. She’ll be contacting me on Monday to let me know if it can be done or not. I’ll also be getting an email by the end of the day to show me cost of surgery. So I’ll have the weekend to weigh pros/cons, then find out on Monday if they even can do it or if I’ll need to look elsewhere if we want to get it done. Bf & I are in agreement on not making her wait more than a week, with the bleeding & how quickly they can go downhill.

Also got antibiotics and pain meds to give her to help keep her more comfortable over the weekend. Just gave her both of them so that I don’t have to bother her again later tonight. She’s had a rough day, so I’d rather let her sleep & just do a quick check when I change her food later. She’s not currently bleeding, though there were spots on both the soft carrier & the fleece. And she was feeling well enough to walk up me & chew/anoint on my hair as usual. ♥
