Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Oliver The Nurse
Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday. He had a mass on his abdomen. I do not have a good feeling about this. It started out as a nipple that was just very elongated and it stayed like that for a year and then it suddenly grew huge, ulcerated, and drained. We won't get the biopsy back for 5-7 days. Anyway, Boone is NOT feeling well today. Oliver is being so sweet to him. He comes by at regular intervals and cleans the goop from Boone's eyes, kisses him, and just lays around being companionable. Probably the best part from Boone's point of view is that Oliver doesn't torture him by hiding and then jumping out and biting his butt or waiting until he is asleep and then jumping on his head to wrestle. :-) They sure know when something is up, don't they?

(Well, that is normal for Sugar but PEARL!! It was like a miracle). Poor Boone. I will be sending special purrs for him. Please keep us posted. >Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday.

Lots of purrs on the way that Boone's pathology report is negative of any nasties and purrs to you and your DH as well. I'm sure you are terrified right now. Julie, Hobbes, Selena, Lacey, Sam and Barnabus Purrs for poor Boone. I hope the labs come back clean! Hugs, CatNipped > Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday.

My son's oldest Bouvier also was operated on for a mass on his side. It did have malignant cells. So my son says they will take it one step at a time as needed. Purrs for Boone that he will feel better and that it is negative. MLB >>Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday. He had a mass on >>his abdomen. I do not have a good feeling about this.

They can do remarkable things these days and now a diagnosis of malignant cells isn't automatically a death sentence. I hope everything turns out well for both of us. :-) SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com >>>Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday. He had a mass on >>>his abdomen.

His name is Durnik and he is now about ten years old. He is a very loving animal. Their other Bouvier is a female named Velvet. Durnik has about a six inch scar and it is healing well. We are still purring for Boone too. MLB Many heartfelt purrs for Boone, Margaret. Please let Oliver know he's being a wonderful nursekitty.

Persia knows when I don't feel well and rather than go off by herself for a nap sticks to me like a soft purring blob of glue :) Jill >Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday.

Oliver sounds like a good nurse. As for boone, my dog last year had a fatty tumor that suddenly grew and took over the nipple and became a mammary tumor. With her allergies she had scratched it and it became infected and goopy with drainage. She was on Clavamox and when that was gone the vet removed it with no problem and it was benign. But the tumor moved with the skin like it was not really connected to the chest wall by more than a blood vessel or two. Is Boone's tumor like that? Purrs that the tumor is benign with no problems. -- CATherine >>Poor Boone (our Lab) had to have surgery yesterday. He had a mass on >>his abdomen. I do not have a good feeling about this. It started out [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > -- > CATherine Thanks. Boone's tumor seemed to be a long nipple tumor like your dog's and maybe some little lumps on the abdominal wall. The vet said the good thing was that they just had to remove mostly fatty tissue and very little muscle, which is good. One thing that concerns us is that he has been having some coughing spells occasionally. If it is mammary cancer apparently it will sometimes get into the lungs which isn't a good thing at all. I'll be on pins and needles until the biopsy results are back. SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com >Thanks.

Yesterday was really rough on him as he really hurt whenever he walked or lay down. It broke my heart. Today he seems more chipper and is eating normally and more willing to walk. He even wanted to sniff about when we went outside. I am sure he will still be sore for a few more days but for someone who has had what really amounted to a mastectomy he is doing remarkably well. Thanks for asking!
