Is there supposed to be a report here?
Regina, sometimes a Vet's office can accept donations towards the operation...or at least I recall that somewhere (maybe I saw that through one of the Doodle Messenger things). Find out from the Vet, maybe that would be the way to go.
It appears that it isn't a forgone conclusion that it has to be surgery....I think I saw where the one Vet was willing to try topical stuff (hard to read). Is that what it says?
Basically you won't know the extent of possibilities until after Thursday evening so I will be watching for that then.
OK. I read the report and I think it makes clear that the person reporting believes the lesions are basically benign, but can be recurrent and locally invasive. I have familiarity with pathology reports. Also, my son's poodle died of a malignant pilomatrixoma, which is another kind of tumor of hair follicles. He had a tumor removed from his tail, which was said to be benign, but eventually he ended up with widespread disease possibly from the original tumor.
The sad part of all this is the best chances for a good result may have been a complete removal of the original cysts early on. Now you are dealing with very large areas infected with MRSA. There is not a lot of loose skin on top of the cranium which could cover such a large area so that is why skin grafts were mentioned to you. I still think it is imperative to find out how deep these cysts penetrate. Then you need to find out if surgery is feasible and what it will entail. At that point you have to decide what is in Hurley's best interest. I hope this is helpful. I am trying to be realistic.
Thank you F for your clear and realistic analysis of the report...it is all Greek to me.
I am very curious about the results of the Thursday meetings.
