Update Post Surgery

                  Piper and Auntie Jen

Piper is home after getting the tumor removed from his right back leg. Mom said some words like round cells and vascular, whatever that means. He is in pain, which makes my Auntie Jen also hurt.

Mommy went over and held Pipes and sang to him this evening, the same way she did me after my paw surgery early this spring. She said it calmed Pipe-Pipe, just like it did me. His Momma had to go back to work, so Mom stayed with him until his Dad got home tonight.

Even though Piper gets two shots a day for diabetes, his “sugar” is all over the charts, so he will have to go back to get an all day glucose test done. The doc should have his biopsy results by then.

And they aren’t sure if Piper’s heart medicine is doing the trick for his heart murmur.

His Momma and Daddy really appreciate all the POTP, prayers, and healing thoughts.

  1. Our thoughts are with Piper, Lexi. He is really having a rough time. Diabestes is a hard one to control and stay controlled. Mom had a kitty with diabestes and certainly can relate. She will be praying and we will be purring for Piper.

    All our purrs,

    Shoko and Kali

  2. Thank you, Bacon. I know he had a good night with his Mom sleeping on the floor next to him, but this morning is not using the leg that had surgery. That might be just as well for right now.

  3. Thanks, Reilly and Denny. His big sister doesn’t understand and wants to jump all over him, so they have to be kept separated right now, which is hard on everybody, too.

  4. Piper likes anything he gets to eat. He eats so fast I don’t think he even tastes it. One of the challenges of trying to manage his diabetes is he has to get a shot every 12 hours, within 30 minutes of eating.

  5. Poor baby. And Diabetes for dogs can be tough. My neighbor had a dog with it. He was a sweet dog. Of course he wasn’t thrilled when they changed his food diet, especially having to eat broccoli for his treats. He wasn’t a fan of that.
