Shilo is AMAZING. That dog has been absolutely great the past 4 days. Hardly ANY swelling an no trace of the dreaded ‘blood boob’.
I guess the vets at UPenn must really, really, really know their stuff. My poor TJ was black and blue from chest to tail when the local vet amputated his arm.
I guess Shilo is really the ‘perfect’ candidate for amputation: young, healthy, no arthritis. Its good that she is up and about with no pain… she just finds the nearest person and snuggles up to them for some scratchies.
The new food is getting gobbled up. Will have to have chewy.com send more food every two weeks. Shilo was sort of a fincky eater… but with the OS and amp its time to move her up to a food that she will eat no questions asked.
Great news!!!! Keep it up Shilo!!!
“Getting cancer in the name of science”?? REALLY???
Well Shilo…that’s deinitely called “taking one for the team!” If anybody can make this treatment sccessful, yo tw can!! Three..-TJ’s helpng!
So glad yo’re dong well. Take t eas..you so ‘t want to freak yor dad out with a “blood boob”! Scarey, scarey thi gs!
HUGS!

Great news, Paul.
Sounds like Shilo has already adapted well to being a tripawd!
Give her some scratches for me.
Hugs,

Yay! Some surgeons are really talented and I’m happy to hear that Shilo had someone with such skill working on her. Now just don’t let her overdo it while she’s feeling so good. I know its hard but trust me on this one. The first two weeks should be calm and restful, no matter how good Shilo says she feels. Getting rid of that tumor makes you feel REALLY good so you need a human to remind you to take it easy. I think it was around Day 4 or 5 that I felt so good, I tried to jump into the back of the SUV. I have never been able to jump into the back of the car. Ever. It wasn’t pretty.
