[QUOTE="Spider8ait1994, post: 2030453, member: 101939"] [USER=8309]@Drache613[/USER] Just got a call from the head surgeon and it’s great news. He was under anaesthesia for 3 hours which is pretty long for a bearded dragon but the proceedure was a success and went mostly to the original plan. They went in from the outside as opposed to going in through the mouth so I’m told he has a ~5cm incision in the throat region and a feeding tube on his left side. When they got in there they found that the tumor had stuck to part of the oesophagus so they did end up removing a part of the oesophagus and then reconstructing it so he has some internal stitches too. Over the course of the proceedure he lost a mild to moderate amount of blood so they’re monitoring him closely tonight and if needed will bring in a reptile blood donor for him. It sounded like he’s waking up well too which is great. Because of the reconstruction aspect of the proceedure he will be a bit delicate during the healing process so I am planning on modifying his enclosure while he’s recovering by removing his climbing wall to keep him down on the ground, removing probably most of the decor and adding in some extra padding just so he’s not trying to climb and bumping himself around in there. If all goes well it’ll be 4 weeks when the feeding tube is removed but the surgeon has said that he does believe Spike has a very good prognosis. Next planned contact will be tomorrow morning when they’ll let me know if he’s able to come home but if anything happens during the night they will let me know. [/QUOTE]
