Oncept Vaccine #4 & Surgery #3

Got my last jab on 30 November. Unfortunately, there was also another lump that grew at (or very near to) the previous sites - all localised at LEFT UPPER side. So in the same session, I got my #3 lump removal surgery + the jab.

Warning: Graphic content below showing my mouth under surgery (left upper inner cheek)😅

   That day after going home... lots of sleep and sleep. I didn't want to eat for 2 whole days, excluding surgery day, which makes it total of 3 days without food! Only drank water.

I'll be doing a second round of 4 (booster) jabs of the same Oncept vaccine. Placed order for them, hopefully this time they'll arrive on time!

Sleep Poses

My sleep poses in recent months:

Surgery #2

Had my #2 lump removal yesterday. I had been fasted since the night before (smart move mommy! Otherwise we'd have to make another trip another day), pre-op X-ray done and it was okay to go ahead for the surgery. I was told that cancer cases have priority so they could slot me right in.

I was out on the grass doing my toileting💩while waiting for my turn.

Other furries with sickies were waiting too.

Around 10am I realised mom and dad had disappeared! 😰😭 

Then everything was a blur .... ....

Before I knew it, I was already in daddy's arms!

Lost another molar. The root was already infected so it had to go. Not sure if it was due to the cancer but it had been rather difficult for mom to clean that part of my mouth. Well, think on the brighter side it would easier to clean without teeth 😝.  For now, it seems that the cancer is localised on my left upper gum area. Lymph nodes and lungs are currently fine.

Dogtor showed my pawrents photo of the nasty lump in my mouth. He said there were lots of "materials" came out of the lump. Vet is Italian and he speaks English with quite a heavy accent - we think he meant to say "toxins" 😅. He is a nice and good vet, we like him.

My appetite was still good despite today's ordeal. 

Thereafter, it was good night 💤💤💤

My Daily Routine Nowadays

Besides my morning walks,





the rest can be summed up below:

Back From Surgery #1

🙏🙏Thank you my furriends for sending me your POTP and Love! 😘😘😘

So yesterday morning I was dropped of at the vet's; and was discharged at 5pm. I was already awake and alert when mom and dad came to get me.


I lost a total of 4 teeth this time 😢. 2 were under the lump and perhaps affected somehow cos they were already quite loose. The other 2? Was told 1 incisor and 1 "somewhere" BOL, and Mom has yet to figure out which 2!!!

Now we wait for the biopsy report which might take up to 1 week or so.

Meanwhile, am catching up with my 😴😴😴 leaving tomorrow's problems for tomorrow.

Shall update again when the biopsy results are out. Meanwhile, please keep POTP coming 🙏🙏

😘😘😘💞💞💞

Need Power Of Paws Please

Dear Furriends,

I will be going under the knife tomorrow morning (Tuesday 24th July, local time) because I've got the most dreaded "C" thingy :'(  ... ... well, it needs to be confirmed by the pathology lab after removal of the tumor and whether it is benign or malignant.

Mine's oral, and since it is difficult for mom to take a photo of it, photo below is from internet similar to what I have:
...

Yup, it's black in color. But mine is not at the front like in the photo, mine's at the left upper molar's gum. Oral Melanoma.

Mom first felt a tiny-weeny growth about end of May this year but could not have a good look as I wasn't co-operative, shutting my lips tight! Even the vet couldn't either, unless they put me under GA. My pawrents were worried about me going under, with my heart murmur, enlarged heart etc... so they decided to wait a while. On hindsight, bad move! Ah well, no point talking about what had happened so let's just pray that it's benign! She finally succeeded in looking last Friday and boy, what a shock it gave her and she dialled the vet's first thing Saturday morning.

They had to take an X-ray of my chest first to see if the C has spread to my lungs as I have been coughing quite a lot nowadays. Vet said, if x-ray showed white spots then it means it has spread and even surgery won't help. AND I'll only have 2-3 weeks left!!! Mom nearly fainted.

It was the l....o....n.....g.....e......s.....t  five minute wait for the x-ray results. Fortunately, lung has no white spots except for some fluids. So I was given diuretics to clear out the fluids these 2 days.

Another thing discovered from the x-ray was, that my trachea has collapsed (even more?) which explains my worsening cough. We've known from an x-ray beginning of this year that my trachea is being compressed by my enlarged heart. But the collapsed part is now so narrow we are Mom is horrified. We are now taking 1 thing at a time and to deal with this f*cking C first.

Please please send power of paws my way. THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

Love,

Bowie

Oh, some recent photos of me heehee:

Yesterday while waiting for my turn at the vet, daddy brought me to the grass patch next to the clinic:
