I just put in a call to my vet to ask questions and give her what input and info I have received from all you wonderful people here. I hope to hear from her a little later as it is only 3pm here and she is seeing patients. Thanks so much everybody for all the love, support, and prayers and well wishes for me and Boo-Boo. Pat, Boo-Boo, and BJ

I wish this post didn't exist. Makes my heart hurt. Pat, follow what your gut is telling you to do. When I listen to that little inner voice, it's usually the right/best answer. If it helps ease your mind even a little bit, Vu had to go through anesthesia twice within a 2 week period and he did just fine. He was 7 at the time. Is it possible for the vet to do a needle biopsy first, instead of surgery? Regardless, we are all here with you through this . Karin

Karin Thanks Karin, I just spoke with the vet and read her my list and the needle biopsy was one of the things. She did that back when It was a soft Fat Pad but now that has solidified somewhat she does not want a traumatized surgery site. I think the Boo man will do just fine. A big part of that is completely out of our hands anyway isn't it I gave her another vet's number to consult with and she said she will do that probably Friday. I wish Boo wasn't going through any of this either but here we are. We have to do the best we can and keep praying Thank you again....Pat

I took Boo for a second opinion today and I have canceled his surgery on Monday as I now explore my options. The DR. I took him to Aspirated the hard part of the lump and results looked good as far as the new DR was concerned. She said it would be up to me what I wanted to do but it was no emergency. I am going to step back a little and not rush things. The next step will be either let the new DR do the surgery (and I know she is experienced and has seen the boys before) and run tests afterward or do a blood draw first and check Boo's Blood to see if there is anything going on. Soooo....here I sit, but I am breathing. Boo was such a mush mellow at the vet. She could not believe he just sat through the aspiration so calmly. He just wanted to go back to his blankie and his bed Pat

was she able to get the stuff out of his leg,is that what she did? The DR just sticks a fine needle in to the lump in different areas and pulls out some of what ever it is and looks at it under a microscope. I wish they could just suck the whole thing out I read about your good news too Josefine I hope you are breathing easier too Thank you everybody Pat, Boo-Boo, and BJ

Pat I am glad you made the choice to get a second opinion. So many times we go with just one as we feel uneasy about going to another Dr. You can now think about things as you know more about what is going on. Please give Boo Boo a spoon with some yogurt on it for me as I have seen someplace he loves that!

I just got off the phone with the vets office and I won't get to talk to the vet till Wednesday. The DR wants to do a blood draw before doing the surgery. I am thinking this lump needs to be removed regardless and they could do a blood draw while he is under then. If the lump should come out anyway, and most opinions point to that, it would save Boo going under twice, and me $120 for the separate blood draw. Any opinions???? Thanks for asking Pat, Boo-Boo, and BJ

Pat - yes, it would save you money.
However - why would Boo have to go under twice?
Usually pre-surgery blood testing is done to make sure organs are functioning well, so that the animal can tolerate the anesthesia.
If they have to put him under for that - it defeats the purpose.
However, if they don't - sometimes dangerous side-effects of anesthesia can be avoided just because of that blood test.
Good luck ... Hugs for you both.

I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but based on what you're saying it sounds like that's the right thing to do. If he needs to go under anyway, you might as well get it all done in one shot. Like you said, that way he won't have to go through it twice.. less stress on him (and you!!) I would think. You guys are in my thoughts

The DR, said they would put Boo under for like 2 minutes for a blood draw. Yes, The DR said this would be a good test to see how he handles the anesthesia in general.

Being put under for 2 minutes for a blood draw is a very very small amount of gas. The surgery could be half an hour or more under the anesthsia. When Spryte broke her leg, she was under for 2 1/2 hours. A VERY VERY long time for such a small animal. I don't believe she fully recovered from it either. She always seemed a little "off" after. The anesthsia "test" is really a very good idea. When my vet neuters, the gliders are under anesthsia for less than 10 minutes. (closer to 5) so is considered short term and why it is fairly safe. Just thought that might put it in to prospective. I would ask how long does the vet think he will be under for the surgery. This may help you decide as well. Keeping you and the boys in my thoughts.

I don't know if this applies, but when our neutered male cat had a urinary tract blockage (very common in neutered males) they used a drug called ketamine. It put him in a trance like state, but not totally asleep. He was able to be treated without the anesthesia and had no memory of it. I guess it wouldn't really work, now that I think of it, for a surgical procedure but it seems extreme to put him under to get blood. I sure hope this all works out for the best of all of you!

I know absolutely NOTHING about anesthesia for gliders but I remember when Beezer (Greyhound) had to be put under there was a special anesthesia the vet used because Greyhounds can not handle anesthesia at all - maybe the vet can use that anesthesia -??? Like I said - I know absolutely nothing about anesthesia - Good luck Pat All my prayers are going out to you and Boo-Boo Sue owned by & mom to
