Just received a call from PVSEC. Oakley did well under anesthesia and the surgery went as planned. Did not run into any huge issues with bleeding which is a risk in greyhounds due to their high metabolism, but will monitor this overnight and into the morning.
Samples will be sent for analysis from the mass so that we know exactly what we are dealing with when starting chemotherapy in a few weeks.
If he looks good and is not presenting much bruising or oozing and is getting around fairly well they will send him home tomorrow. If not, they may keep him an additional day for monitoring.
We are relieved to know that what was eating away at his body is gone and that he’s through this part of the process. Amy, Odie, and I can’t wait to get him home to pamper him and help him begin to adjust to life on three legs.
