Subject: Merry's surgery
Hello. Im writing to let everyone know that Merry had her
surgery today to remove an irregular soft tissue mass found by her
abdomen. There were complications when they were operating and
found that the tissue mass was attached to her intestines. They
removed the mass & part of her intestines in case it was cancerous.
Merry is now staying over night at the vets office so they can
monitor her. I am very concerned and am praying that her organs
that were affected are able to mend and that shell be her feisty
little self again. This vets office came highly recommended but I
didnt get the vet that was recommended directly. I am a little
concerned because this vet tells us the scenario and gives all these
options but leaves every decision open ended instead of telling us
what she thinks is best. They called in the middle of the surgery
to tell us about the complications. Is this normal? Was there some
decision to be made by us? I am glad that she gives me options but
this doesnt leave me feeling very confident. There was never any
evidence that this was going to be harmful and now I wonder if I
made the right decision. Im hoping that Merry is ok tonight and it
hurts that I cant be there to comfort her. She is on pain
medication and has a sleep sack and blankie from home. Sweet
Meridoc, we all love you very much.
