surgery

[beardedneato]

I just got back home from dropping Neato off for a scope surgery. Vet is using tiny scope to see what is growing in his chest. He believes the tumor is growing inside his liver and it will be inoperable.

Please keep him in your thoughts

I am sorry he is sick. I hope for the best for you and Him *hug*

That's sad. Anything connected with cancer, tumor is scary.

This waiting is so hard. I hope it is just an infection or something. Neato already had skin cancer removed last year and radiation since they didn't remove all the cancer cells. At that time they said that kind of cancer didn't metastasize to other areas. I don't know.

Poor Neato. I've been cleaning his tank and getting it ready for his recovery from surgery to keep me busy.

Vet doesn't think Neato has cancer. He didn't find any tumors inside him. He said lungs, heart and intestines all looked good.

Neato liver is in bad shape. It is over sized, misshapen and orange and yellow instead of the normal reddish. Neato is to take silymarin for liver function for the rest of his life. Vet was relieved it was the cancer he thought and seemed to think the liver issue was manageable.

If anyone has was to help reverse/stop liver damage please let me know.

Thanks

Glad to hear it wasn't cancer!!! Ask Tracie (Drache613) she should be able to help you!

I agree, I think Tracie will be able to give you some good ideas about the liver damage.
