Keeping you guys in my thoughts and praying for good news!

I just want to say we have the best group of friends and husky lovers! Sierra is out of surgery Doc. just called and said he thinks he got good margins but had to take a lot of muscle and it was tricky to stitch her back up but she is in recovery now. thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for her and us. lets keep it up and hope that we get good news back from the test on the mass that he got it all!!!
i will get a call in a few hours to see how she is recovering and im sure when we get there later i will have the full report on what they did.

Wow, that was a quick surgery! Fingers crossed on the test!

Woohoo! So far, so good! We're pulling for you all the way.

Great news!!!

I'm so glad everything is going well!!

Sending lots of good vibes and positivity for lovely Sierra from my side of the world! I've been quietly following this thread and my heart goes out to you, I'm keeping everything crossed that they got it all and she will heal fantastically! Kia kaha

Hope everything goes well, can't imagine what your going through

So i talked to the vet and its in Sierra's best interest for her to spend the night, she will have 24hr care and they can watch her pain and she can rest vs/ sending her home with us and having jack at home bugging her. we will pick her up mid day tomorrow. im gonna go visit her after work to night.

I'm sure she will be quite spoiled and well cared for overnight and nothing will make her happier than to have her mama stop by.

Sierra was a bit out of it but enjoyed seeing me. I will bring her home tomorrow

On another note I found out sierra is loved by a whole bunch of you and I just want to say thank you one more time!

Great news Jenn! Just thinking of you with her tonight overwhelmed me.

Best of luck tomorrow with her homecoming! Jack is gonna lose his mind

That is so awesome!! I was thinking about you guys all day and was praying for good news! I bet you can't wait to bring her home. Give her a big hug from all of us

Good news she made it out of surgery and will be going home soon!

Congrats on the success thus far Jenn! Did the doc ever let you know about the margins? I know that a pathologist checks them for people, do they do the same thing for dogs, or do they just end it with fingers crossed? Here's hoping Sierra has a speedy recovery! (And that the weather stays warm for the sake of Sierra's now naked leg!)

Courtney,  they do send the mass off to be tested, so round one is done, she is recovering,  round two is waiting for the report to come back. Just as stressfull! As for the weather the cold is coming back and we got snow over night :(poor chicken leg

Oh and the doc thinks he got good margins, went as far as taking the layer that covers the bone but no bone.

So, good to hear Sierra came through surgery! I am glad the doc did such a great job. Praying the rest of the news is good.

She is home! Should have an update mon or tue on the test

Awe, such a pretty girl!!! Glad to see that she is home now!

praying for a speedy recovery and nothing but good news from the vet!

Sierra looks great for having gone through surgery.
What a pretty girl!
Pain meds tonight for sure, though.
You are in our hearts.
We are thinking of you and wishing for the best possible outcome.

Looks like she's happy to be home! Welcome back home, Sierra! We wish you a swift recovery and good test results very soon!

Gorgeous girl! Hopefully everything goes well. Speedy recovery Sierra!

How is she doing now that she is home? I am really glad to hear the surgery went so well.

Michael, i did one more pain med this morning cause this girl is like her momma and hides the pain well, she has to be hurting but is showing no signs really. she HATES the cone, keeps hitting everything with it and has trouble drinking water till she lines it up right! she cried when i took jack for his walk today, he is happy to have her home and is being good with her so far.
we camped out in the living room last night since she cant do stairs. my blow up bed has a slow leak and my shoulder is all jacked from that. but sierra slept by my side all night   im a walking zombie today but its all good.


bed for the next 2 weeks.....


so sweet

results should come mon or tue and her follow up is the 3rd. i hate being at work right now and will head out as soon as i finish some things.

took sierra's bandage off on sunday and this is what we saw, did not look as bad as we thought it would. its about 5" long with about 20-21 staples in it. we ended up moving the queen mattress downstairs so we could sleep better the next week. i really hope to hear good news today, the stress of waiting i think is worst then the day she has surgery!
