Today,Beloved Bryn has undergone major surgery to remove another tumour~ from the OTHER leg to where he had the cancer 15 months ago. Our vet thinks that despite this being a large & *nasty* tumour that it is benign ~ though obviously, we await tests to confirm this.
We have known there was a problem for some time, but had hoped surgery could be avoided~largely due to fears about anaesthesia~ but when the tumour started to break down & weep a week ago, the decision was made to operate, but to wait till today when all services ect are restored after prolonged Bank Holidays!.
After a VERY worrying few hours,~ the operation taking 2 hours!~ Bryn is recovering comfortably. He is on some heavy duty pain relief & will be on VERY restricted exercise for a few days, but if all goes well & the skin graft on the wound holds well, our vet says he will be fully recovered in approx 2 weeks ~ if the wound gives problems it will obviously take longer to heal~but we will cross that bridge if we have to.
Bryn has been so good & so brave ~ I think he desrves a medal, but I think he would prefer some specially cooked chicken & my undivided attention ~ both of which he can have in abundance.
You have all been so supportive in the past when Bryns health has caused alarm & I know several people I tweet to have lost pets in the recent past, I didn't want to stir up more anquish for anyone, so I decided not to say anything until now. So, I hope you will all share in our relief that all has gone well, and celebrate Brave Bryns journey on the road to recovery. I look forward to posting pictures of his triumphant return to the park & his rightful place as the head of his gang *the geriatric reprobates* in a couple of weeks time!!
