Murphy's Surgery

[Linda and Murphy]

Murphy had surgery yesterday to remove the bump on his nose. She took a biopsy and we are waiting on results.

 

I am so proud of the boy.  The vet was able to do it under local! The vet tech, one of our favorite people, held his head while he was in a sitting position (this is Murphy...so that head was about 40 inches off the floor). They deadened his nose with lidocaine and waited to see if she needed to sedate him with anything else. She said the only issue they had was with his tongue. He has 3 stitches in his nose and it looks great.  

 

Thanks everyone for all the pawsitive thoughts.

Thanks everyone.  Still waiting on results. Should hear early next week.

 

I had to clean the incision today. It would help if he didn't dunk his whole head in the water bowl...or any other water.

How are you all doing since this post? Hope all is well. Stitches? Oh that ought to be real easy for you and him to deal with. Not. Thinking of you.

Haven't been keeping up with blogs, so just saw this. JD and I are very proud of Murphy (JD also had a growth removed with just local and he salutes his fellow stoic!) and we hope the results are great!

Yeah Murphy....and Lidocaine stings too !!!

Murphy YOU ROCK! You are a very brave Dood.....hoping for some great results from the biopsy. Oh and "our Murphy".....not so brave. He's limping around because "little Guinness" got a little too rough when they were playing....you could teach him a few things.

Hope the results are good :)
