Recovering From Dog Tumor Removal Surgery: Essential Steps For A Speedy Recovery!

Have you been told your dog needs to have surgery for mass removal? I am going to walk you through step by step, what the typical mass removal surgery steps look like from the day you talk to your veterinarian about it to the end of the recovery. There are a few things that as a Vet Tech I have to offer in this recovery at home.
If you have questions or comments, please leave them below and I will get back to you as soon as I can! If it is a medical emergency please see your veterinary office, I am not a replacement for good quality veterinary care!

Excellent and thorough video on Dory's procedure and healing process. This also makes you realize to check your pet often for new growths and etc... Thanks, Jill!

[@askavettech2057]

Thanks Buddy!! Yes, and not to discount them as nothing really... I sure felt guilty for not just taking them off when I first seen them.... but you can't un do the past!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Poor Dory! It's so hard to see our pets down in the dumps and hurting after these kinds of things. She has such a good mom to take care of her though! I'm glad she's doing OK and yep- enjoy every moment!

[@askavettech2057]

Thanks friend, yea, it's been a bunch of trips to the vet latley! seems like they are all at that age, ya know!

[@jodiem5887]

This was so helpful thank you! Great video 👍

[@askavettech2057]

You are very welcome:)

What a great review of the preparation, the procedure, the recovery and the recommendations. Great job Jill! I hope Dory is back to her old self again and that the procedure was successful and adds years to her life! I have a now 6 year old GSD. When he was just weeks old, I noticed a small abnormal bump right between his eyebrows on the bottom of the skin but not on the bone. I monitored it but it tripled in size over the next year - just by the feel of it. It never bothered him - proably bothered ME more. I discussed with the vet and she was indeterminate about it. I elected to have it removed to be safe and it went very well. I could not afford to have it analysed but I'm glad I had it removed. His scar doesn't even show now but he sure looked 'quite the punk' with a shaved patch up the forehead and a mean-scare evident for a month! Great job on this! You should have a hundred thousand subscriber's - I can see the passion and energy you bring to your channel. Kudos to you!

[@askavettech2057]

Thank you for your support! And I love that you had it removed and those surgical hair cuts are pretty crazy sometimes! Glad the hair grew back well! I'm also emailing you back as i type this:)

[@billiegoodman4872]

Wow, Jill. I love your channel. My grand puppy was given 6 mos after vet discovered a Ca tumor in his mouth. It was successfully removed a year ago. Nigel is 10 but plays like he’s 1 year old. Think it was a sarcoma which they said would come back. I’m praying it doesn’t. Hey, you and Brooke got that big snow!! Great( I guess)- take care!!

[@askavettech2057]

Awww thanks Billie! I'm so glad your grand pup is doing well! That's such great news! I love the name too! And Yes, we got a BUNCH of snow, Finally! Winter wonder land, but they say rain next week:( SO I guess back to mud season...agh! I miss the snow we used to get! Where it was white for a while. But I guess Climate change is what they blame! Hugs!

[@pawcouture]

The fact you could afford same day testing ! ❤

[@askavettech2057]

The samples were sent to the laboratory, and it took about 1 week for the results to come back.

[@44softballgirls85]

How long was the healing process? How many days after can my dog start to feel a little better?:/

[@askavettech2057]

that really depends on where the mass was removed from, and how big the mass was. It took Dory about 3 days to be back to her self personality wise, but that wad because she was taking some pain meds. She was resting more than normal. Some dogs bounce right back.

[@44softballgirls85]

@@askavettech2057 Thank you for responding. The first day was pretty rough I was very nervous but like you said 3-4 days she started to be her old self. Shes actually much more active now super happy that the mass was removed, she is 12 acting like shes 10 again lol

[@askavettech2057]

@44softballgirls85 I'm so happy to hear that!
