Harriet is home. She’s doing great! She’s alert, happy, and has a good appetite. That first photo is of her hoovering the kitchen floor for stray crumbs.
The surgery site is going to ooze blood for awhile. I was prepared for that (it’s a bad location for that sort of tumor on a lean dog). They’re sending the mass out to be identified, but the vet is pretty sure it’s a spindle cell tumor. If he’s right, he thinks it’s going to be benign, but will come back in the same location and grow more quickly than the last one. We’ll cross that bridge if and when we come to it. Right now, I’m just glad to have my dog back in one piece!
Oh, and the incision itself? It’s a smiley face. My dog has a happy butt!
