Ophelia Surgery

Today Ophelia had surgery for the mass on her back leg.  She has had this for about 6 months now and it has been drained a few times but finally got to the point where it needed to be surgically removed when it swelled so much it busted the skin open and started to drain. 



She went through the surgery just fine but her leg is obviously tender.  Hopefully she will be back to normal soon.  I think our biggest challenge will be to prevent Bosley from licking the wound.  We might have to put the dog cone on him instead of her!

They sent the mass off to the lab, we will know the results next week to see if it was a cyst or tumor or what.
