5/11/20 – Oakley’s Post-Op CheckUp
Oakley’s post-op checkup went great today! Staples were getting quite embedded due to how well he was healing so there a few raw spots now that they are removed. The vet was very happy with how things looked and how he has been doing at home.
We will be taking him off all pain medicine starting today but will monitor to ensure we don’t notice him being in discomfort. I had already backed down his Gabapentin a day ago due to his sleeping issues and he was more normal yesterday, so I think getting of these will be good for him.
The oncology report confirmed that the mass was osteosarcoma. We didn’t expect otherwise, but it just validates everything we have done and will continue to do to give him the best life possible. Our first oncology appointment and hopefully first chemo will be this Thursday.
Overall at this point we remain incredibly optimistic. Oakley is happy and is cuter now as a tripawd then he was before. 🙂
Congratulations on reaching that milestone!
