Sorry to bring this up again but I really need your opinions

Lottie was examined two weeks ago, a needle biopsy thing carried out, cancer. I spoke of it at the time

The vet said an X-ray, an op to remove the one side of The mamory glands. I decided I couldn't subject her to that

Yesterday vet phoned, said she had discussed Lottie with a senior vet - I do not trust the senior vet, she is a partner in the firm and is known locally as pounds,shillings and pence.

Seems now they will remove a smaller section of the glands, I asked about the x ray to check her lungs as first recommended . No point, if cancer is in her lungs the lump could be too small to show up on the x ray.

Son in law and son in law who isn't, both said no way if pounds, shillings and pence is involved.

I want what is right for Lottie, realise only I can decide but feeling swamped , the inquest in four weeks and we have asked for disclosure of statements , if granted this will be more stress .

So let them operate next week or wait untill Lottie shows she is unwell.

Thank you and apologies for bringing it up again

Brilliant news Annie. Best outcome to a bad situation. I can definitely see Lottie being smothered with TCL when she gets home. Animals have an instinct about illness. You might get a surprise and find that Phoebe is very attentive to Lottie without being a nuisance.? flowers ?

Thank you all x

Lottie is home with me, rather confused but that can be expected. She will eat a little bit of chicken later - I hope.

So relieved to have her back with me . Love her so much

That’s wonderful news annie. I hardly dared to look on this thread today.

Crafting Mon 08-Jan-18 19:45:59

Thank goodness annie. How is Phoebe taking having Lottie back?

Anniebach Mon 08-Jan-18 19:59:41

Thank you all x

Phoebe has a problem, she thinks she is Florence Nightingale, wants to keep washing Lottie, has taken the plaster off Lottie's leg, it was due to come off, and as she is not allowed on the sofa - it's Lottie's safe haven , she wants Lottie to stay on the floor with her. Not sure how Lottie feels but she is driving me crackers with her fussing.

Wonderful news x

jura2 Mon 08-Jan-18 21:51:32

I thought Phoebe was going away for a few days to give Lottie a break ...

cornergran Mon 08-Jan-18 22:33:24

Hope the canine nurse has stopped her fussing now annie and all three of you can have a sleep, or at the very least a restful night.

Jalima1108 Mon 08-Jan-18 23:04:01

Would Nurse Florence cry if you left her in the kitchen tonight so that the patient could have a good night's sleep?
