Journey's Upcoming Surgery

Feb 06, 2024

Hi Everyone!

Journey had her vet appointment on February 2nd, and it was an informative day!
First off, the original lump we were concerned about, has come back as a benign tumor called a Lipoma. Just fatty tissue and fat cells thankfully! However, they will be keeping an eye on its growth to make sure it will not interrupt her quality of life. The location of the tumor is not in a typical spot, so the vet is hoping it will not be too bad, but the minute they feel it's hurting her or affecting the way she walks, sits, or runs, a surgery will be booked for the removal.

Upon further examination,  they did determine that Journey's mammary glands and breast tissue are over developed, which is not a good thing, and can quickly turn cancerous if not removed. So Journey's surgery has been booked for April 5th! It's a risky surgery with Journey's age, but necessary to keep her healthy and happy! The vet did a thorough exam and has said her heart and lungs are strong, so we're stating confident the surgery will be a success with no complications.

This surgery is pricey and will take some after careful medications to keep her comfortable while healing.

Thank you to those who've followed Journey's adventure so far. We truly appreciate the support.

Please help if you are able! Thank you
