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

Really pleased Lottie is doing well and keeping young Veruca Salt in her place grin
Take care flowers

There is no other vet here, I can't travel 20 miles , no car .

I am pleased she is making a good recovery and hope and pray the cancer will not come back.

How is she doing Annie- please do not hesitate to separate them if Phoebe will not allow her to heal and rest.

Anniebach Tue 09-Jan-18 09:13:15

Phoebe is already known as Veruca Salt , the white tornado, and bossy knickers ?

Lottie doesn't need a wash every few minutes , Phoebe thinks she does !

Good news Anniebach, I’m pleased for you.

WilmaKnickersfit Tue 09-Jan-18 00:23:23

I told you Phoebe would turn all attentive! grin I think animals have an instinct about that kind of thing.

So... is there a chance that Phoebe will be renamed Florence? grin

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?

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.

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

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

jura2 Mon 08-Jan-18 21:50:14

Wonderful news x

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.

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

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

Squiffy Mon 08-Jan-18 18:46:51

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

cascats Mon 08-Jan-18 18:38:41

So pleased for you, hugs to you and both Lottie and Pheobe.
