Lola is in surgery today. She has a growth in her abdomen. While she's under anesthesia, the doctor will remove a wart on her face, a small growth in her mouth, clean her teeth, check her anal glands, and trim her nails. The doctor doesn't think her abdomen tumor is cancerous. If it is, it will be cured by surgery.
I thought about taking her for a walk early this morning, but we're not supposed to give her water, so decided against that. Temps are already in the 70's with high humidity.
Lola's had a rough few months. She was diagnosed with two tick-borne infections and mildly elevated toxic byproducts in her kidneys. Antibiotics didn't cure the toxicity, so Lola is transitioning to a special kidney care diet.
Lola was so excited to get into the car with us this morning. Then she started shaking when we got to the vet's. I feel so guilty.
This won't be an inexpensive visit. I'm glad we have the money to take care of her. Lola had a bad beginning to her life, but her past four years with us have been good. We want to continue with a good life for her.
Can't wait till we can pick her up this afternoon.
