This has been quite the stressful week for our little pup - Georgie. A week or so ago the dog groomer noticed that she had a little growth on her front paw, it looked a little sore so we kept on eye on it. Then a week ago we got home and she was bleeding and limping from said paw, so we rushed over to the vets and the vet said that she had a couple of tumors on her paw and they would need to operate on her to remove them. So last Wednesday we took a happy little Georgie to the vets (she had no idea what was coming) and she had her surgery. It all went well and the tumors turned out to be benign - so no worries, but now she is so sad. She has to wear a little cast, which she tries to constantly chew at, so she also has to wear a funky collar to stop her getting at it. Originally she had one of those big satellite collars, however it was huge and scared her to death (she just stood still looking sad with it on), so we switched it out for the inflatable version which is 1) more expensive but 2) doesn't scare her and 3) allows her to use it as a little neck pillow. She has to go back soon and have her stitches out, which will hopefully cheer her up (she is normally such a chipper little dog). She's doing good and I'm glad we got it taken care of but as you can see from the above photo, she is not too impressed with the situation - poor George.
