Monroe was an absolute pleasure to treat and such a brave girl. Thank you for trusting us with her care and for sharing this important reminder to get any lumps and bumps checked out! We’re all keeping our fingers crossed for clear margins and wishing her a smooth, speedy recovery! 🧡🐾
Today my awesome Girl Monroe had a pretty big operation to remove a cancerous tumour. We’ve now got the wait to see if the margins are clear and if it’s all gone 🤞
Firstly, a huge thank you to the incredible team at Corner House Vets for taking such amazing care of her today. The skill, kindness and reassurance they give to both dogs and owners makes such a difference.
Secondly, I wanted to share this as a reminder to fellow dog owners: if you find a lump, bump, or anything unusual on your dog, get it checked! Many lumps turn out to be harmless, but some aren’t – and the earlier they’re looked at, the better the options often are.
I almost didn’t mention it publicly, but if sharing our experience encourages even one person to get something checked sooner rather than later, it’s worth it.
She’s now home, very sleepy, and starting her recovery journey 🧡
Over the next couple of weeks I’ll also share a few things that might help others in similar situations, including:
🐾cooperative care exercises that help dogs cope better with check overs.
🐾enrichment ideas for dogs who need to rest and recover
For now, she’s getting lots of quiet time, cuddles, and careful monitoring.
