Shelby's Life and Whatnot

Our little Scout Dog is home again! She had surgery yesterday to remove the tumor in her bladder. To get the tumor, they had to remove part of her bladder as well, but she's recovering very well. She needs to go outside frequently which is to be expected, but the doctor assured us that the bladder is a very stretchy muscle and her capacity will increase over time. She looks great and isn't even sequestering herself in her crate like she usually does. We really liked the surgery practice. When I called (after hours) just to get a status update, her nighttime vet tech said, "She wasn't really interested in any of our food so I'm cooking her some chicken." In other words--yep, back to normal! We're still struggling with the medication as usual. Hopefully we'll get something to work.
