Welcome home Teddy! We missed you.

Teddy had surgery yesterday at Ohio State, and we were already able to bring him home this afternoon! They found and removed six masses in his abdomen, the largest of which was 20 cm in diameter. They also removed the omentum, which is connective tissue that holds stuff in the abdomen in place and was where all these masses were originating. Maybe that will slow the recurrence. I can't say enough good things about his doctors at Ohio State. His surgeon was great, and his oncologist is wonderful--she checked in on him throughout his surgery day and emailed me updates. And the senior student charged with his care during his stay was delightful and kept us informed the whole time. Even the surgeon who removed his spleen and mass in February dropped by to see him and us. It's awful when your dog has to undergo something like that, but at least we feel that he was surrounded and supported by people who really care about him. Thank you Ohio State! He goes back in about two weeks to get his staples removed and have an oncology appointment. So, until then, it's just recuperating and spoiling and loving him.

I'm so glad to hear Teddy made it through this latest surgery and to see him resting at home in his own bed. Dana, you and your husband take such excellent care of your dogs - you are the perfect dog parents. Your dogs are well loved, and well cared for with the most excellent canine health care available. And now you are in caretaker mode - again. May Teddy have many more happy days to play and eat treats. You and your husband are the gold standard (or should I say Golden standard) in providing dog love and care. Teddy, Heal!

Thanks Judy. We always want to do what's best for Teddy, and we will always try to do everything we can for him (or whatever four-legged love is on deck...) My motto: All you can do is do all that you can.
