Lump on maple

How can I find out if it's spread? Sorry I have brain mash at the moment. Nothing is ever straight forward for me at the moment. Just trying to understand before I go pick her up so I can organise things xx

The appearance of the mass itself may give the Vet some idea and he/she may also have taken a chest Xray. I realise that it is hard not to overthink things, but at the moment you do not know what the mass is. Even if it were to be cancerous there is every chance that it was still confined to the uterus as was the case in all but one of the Does I referred to previously.
 
I think from the conversation they think it is cancer and it was quite a large mass. I will let you know what they offer investigation wise, but she said given maples age (they think she's a lot older than I thought) most people don't test. And also she's seen this slot in unspayed girls, she said a name of it but I can't remember what she said. No call yet to say she's eating

Maples home, she's not eating but pooping. She's been critical cared today and I'm just wondering how long I should allow her to start eating by herself before having to start critical care? She arrived home 6.45pm

P.s they released her as she was being aggressive and felt she may be happier at home to start eating. She's never ever shown agression to us so she is really upset [emoji20]

I'm glad she's home. She'll feel more secure now. Have you got any pain relief and gut meds for her? Did they give you any more information about the mass?

I would see if she'll settle at home and eat for herself and then decide re the Critical Care. Perhaps tempt her with favourite foods first.

I didn't speak about the mass as I thought it was best to speak to the vet who did the surgery. I'm going to call her tomorrow. I only have metacam as they said she has good gut sounds atm and is pooping.

Joe said he's managed to get her to take metacam from the syringe so I quess we are starting to go in the right direction! Phew!

My vet normally only gives Metacam after a spay and not gut meds as well. You should have a post-spay consult booked?

I am glad she's home :)
 
I am so sorry to hear this Loobers but hopefully you will have saved her life. They prefer grass or something green after a spay. Hope you and Maple have a peaceful night. xx
 
Thank you all for thinking of maple. She ate all her forage over night. She has eaten her greens this morning and taken her metacam from the syringe again. However not eating her forage this morning so just going to leave her some piece and quite.

Worryingly aswell that I found some stasis size poops from Toby yesterday. When we got back he was sat in a weird spot. However he is completely fine and eating , normal golden out puts. As soon as I found them he got up to see what goodies I had..I haven't found any like from toby so I think there is definitely a stress connection to maple not beig there. They sleep side by side at night time. I can't wait for maple to recover then in weeks to come we can do the bonding :(

I'm so glad she's feeling a bit better and I hope you will be too, especially today :D

Vibes for you, Toby and Maple and I hope there's a smooth recovery and no more hitches.

Yes, here's to the future married pair :love:

Update for maple:

I spoke to the vet, she said although it was quite big, it hasn't spread to her cervix yet so she removed everything including her cervix from maple as a precaution.

Maples eating well, we are getting binkies for food again which we tell her not to do!! She's taking her metacam from the syringe too, I checked her scar and is quite big. She's being spoiled, we bought her some nice fleece and a low fluffy dog bed for her to sleep in.

This is very reassuring and I'm very pleased. Just consider, not only have you rescued her and given her a wonderful new home, but you've also very likely saved her life :D

I'm pleased she's recovering well.
