Cirrus and Virga returned to the vet today for the their one month post-surgery checkup. Bottom line is they are doing fine! Their incisions healed very well, and there were no signs of any further growth. They will have to be watched, of course, especially Cirrus. Speaking of Cirrus, we had the vet check out her face today. She had some sort of abrasion to the left of her nose where the fur is gone. It was small, but noticeable. This weekend M came up with a likely reason which hadn't occurred to us earlier. Each morning the four little stuffed animals we place on top of the cage are on the floor. M figured that perhaps Cirrus was getting a little to aggressive trying to get to the stuffed animals and was trying to push her nose through the cage opening. The vet concurred, stating that this was not something you would see as a result of their cancer.The vet also stained her eyes to check if there might be a scratch on the cornea. There was a tiny speck that might have been an old scar, but otherwise everything looked good.
Virga and Cirrus apparently were popular patients at the hospital. One of the vet students with us today was present for their surgery and took care of them post-op and was anxious to see them. The vet tech who administered their anesthesia also stopped in the exam room to see how they were doing.
The ladies have their next checkup in two months.
