They put him under the anesthesia, and looked at him thoroughly - he is sporting a big shave on his belly, and those sad sad post anesthesia eyes, but he is on the clear for now.
If the lump doesn't go away on its own, then we do need to go back...
Before he had been seen by the Chief Surgeon Vet TECH; who scheduled the surgery... The surgeon thinks this is the result of a fight, a scratch, or him bumping his belly somewhere, getting hurt somehow. It is not an abscess, they called it "Responsive Tissue".
I am just relieved beyond words...
I feel bad that he went hungry last night and that he was put through anesthesia, but God, thank GOD 1000X over that my baby is OK, and that this scare is over...
He is sooooooo clingy right now... Poor baby, peed all over himself on his carrier, and keeps calling me all the time...
Thank God... This is Not Cancer, he did not have to be cut open ... Thank God, thank God, thank God!
Best news I have heard in a while!!
