Queen Maeby Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I took my Pug to the vet today and we had a good talk and made some decisions about his latest lumps. He is going in on Thursday to have more surgery and then we are going to look at putting him on Palladia or Masitinib. My vet said at this stage she has not even considered euthanasia. She said his quality of life is so good and he's such a happy little dog, and he's too cute for that. So I'm feeling much better :) Edited March 11, 2014 by puggedforlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Good news for you both. Sounds like a caring Vet which is part of what is needed when our dogs are ill. That and your love should go a long way to keeping the wee man happy. I wish you both lots of love for the future.

Queen Maeby Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I just took a photo* of my Pug to show you some of his lumps... He has so many lumps I've lost count, but these are the ones on his head and neck. The arrow is pointing to wear he had surgery on his leg. *Sorry, not a great photo.

Queen Maeby Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 My Pug is home after his latest surgery... He had five large lumps removed, but there are still about ten more smaller ones all over his body. He also has one inoperable lump inside his ear. My vet thinks the other smaller lumps might be inflammatory granulomas. My vet and I have decided that he won't be having any more surgery after this. We're going to wait for the results from these lumps and then look at starting him on Palladia. (The last three lumps he had removed were all MCT's and one was high grade.)

Queen Maeby Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I've been up with him for most of the night. The anaesthetic seems to have really knocked him around. He's like a vegetable; I hope he hasn't been brain-damaged. Maybe it's because he only had surgery (and anaesthetic) two weeks ago His eyes are rolled back in his head and he's mostly breathing through his mouth, and he did a poo and a wee in his bed I'm going to call the vet in the morning.

~Anne~ Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 That doesn't sound good. I'd be calling the vet ASAP and not waiting. Has he had anything to drink? Fluids will help flush the anaesthetic out of his system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Maeby Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I rang the vet and she asked me to bring him in at 8.30am. He didn't have surgery until the afternoon (it wasn't in the morning as planned) and she thinks this is why he hasn't recovered yet. eta I have offered him water (I had to bring it to him) but he won't drink.

Queen Maeby Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I took him to the vet's and he's going to stay there for at least a couple of hours. They took his pulse and temperature, and checked him over, and everything is normal, but my vet wants to do some blood and urine tests to check his liver and kidneys. And the vet nurse is going to do some massage on him to try and stimulate him. He does respond a bit when you pat him and massage him. He is no longer like a vegie but he's still pretty out of it; he can't (or won't*) walk. *Pug owners will understand what I mean :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavNrott Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Posted 13 March 2014 - 08:13 PM Took my Puggie to the beach early this morning, then dropped him off at the vet's for his surgery. Then drove to Melbourne for another training seminar, then drove back, picked up my Pug and did my shopping while he was asleep in the car The above ^ is what you posted at 8.13pm last night (in the Man thread)How do you know he didn't take some kind of a turn while he was recovering from the anaesthetic when he was unattended in car while you were shopping?

This is what you posted at 7.56pm last night. Something is not right. How could you be up with him for most of the night when it was just 7.56pm? What is it that I'm not getting here?
