Staples out.

Rocky did not really want to get loaded in the SUV today and he really did not want to go for a ride. But when we got to MedVet,he dragged me in. He was nervous while waiting, but when his favorite tech came out he was just happy. He willingly ran off with her to the treatment area. Rocky is a social butterfly with all people and other animals. His tail kept wagging while all the staples were taken out. He showed off for the surgeon and hopped all over the place. Dr Dudley is very happy with his progress and released him to slowly resume all activities. We did get a preliminary path report. It say the tumor appears to be a rhabdomyosarcoma that eroded into his femur and caused the fracture . If that is true Rocky will probably not need chemo. That would be the best news. We have an appointment for an evaluation by the therapist in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to that appointment.

Rocky is our 125lbs lab mix. He is a big sweetheart. After limping for 18 months we finally were sent to a neurologist. They found a bulging disc and pinched sciatic nerve. 3 weeks into his recovery he could not stand. MRI showed tumor and fracture femur. On Nov15 his left rear leg was amputated.
