| Layla is having her bump removed in a week- I have a question! Layla went to the vet yesterday and besides being told she had an eye infection and gained weight!! (it has been too hot here to walk in the mornings...) our vet said the bump on her back has doubled in size and Layla needs to have it removed. It is a sebaceous cyst (I believe) and she wants it removed so she only has to have a local instead of a general. ANYWAYS- she can't eat that morning and will not be eating all day- I am worried about her blood sugar levels. The vet initally said not to feed her when I got home but I mentioned I was worried about her blood sugar. I am worried Layla will be so out of it she won't want to eat (she will be given a sedative and my sweet girl is quite sensitive to medications). For those that have had their pups in for day surgery- can you shed some light on this. I am already dreading leaving her there for the day |

| Usually it's no food after like 9pm the night before. If the vet is concerned about hypoglycemia, they can run fluids throughout the day. I'm sure she will eat by the next morning and that should be fine. Yellow bile from an empty tummy doesn't mean she will go hypo on you. Some anesthetics can be nauseating and not wanting to eat would be normal. You could force her to eat before bed after picking her up, but then it might come back up..... I would let the vet know you're concerned when dropping her off, ask if they will be running fluids, and not worry about it after that. Has she ever gone hypo on you as an adult?

Nope she never has- she has only ever thrown up bile and then wanted to eat grass- no interest in treats. - I usually force a bit of yogurt in her and then she is back to eating and is normal. I will remind them again when I drop her off- lol if I can even think straight- I am pretty sure I will be a mess! | |

| Thanks! It is a week away and I am already so sick about it- ugh. I just hate that I have to leave her there for the day and I don't want her to be upset when they put her in a kennel. |

| Aww... Warm thoughts being sent to you and Layla. I know how you feel about leaving them. My boys just had their teeth cleaned and had to stay the whole day (8am-5pm). I hated it and was a wreak all day. Will be thinking of you 2. Keep us posted on how it all goes.

Uni had one on her head removed during her spay last Nov and biopsied and it was nothing. But she was under for her spay. I don't want her to go under just for the bumpy thing. Hope Layla is doing well!

| Hi All, Layla goes tomorrow- EEEKKK. Capt. Noodle- Layla will just be frozen in that spot instead of being totally sedated. She will be put under a mild sedation just to keep her from moving. They will have to make an incision and stitch it up. Chrissy- the WORST part is having to leave there- I am so worried she will be upset when they put her in a cage. I can't wait to go pick her up but I dread that tomorrow will CRAWL by!! Bo- Thanks When I was talking to the vet about the surgery she said to me that Layla needed an e-collar but she thought I had a "special" one- I said YES!! I DO!!!! I hate that I have to use it but I love that Layla will be comfortable- she will have to wear it for a few days. I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow! Thanks for thinking of us! Layla also has an eye infection that is not going away so hopefully we can take care of that too! |

| Sending prayers and positive thoughts for Layla and for you. Keep yourself busy so that the day goes by faster. What kind of symptoms does she have with her eye infection? Is it mucous?

Well originally her eye was very itchy, closed a bit and there was sometimes green mucous but usually there was just a lot of it. So she went on drops last week and it has almost been a full week of them and she still has a lot of stuff coming out of it and it still seems a bit itchy. | |

Max had an infection of unknown origin in one of his eyes and it required 10 days of a drop that was a combo steroid/antibiotic because the simple antibiotic didn't help. An ulcer and scratch must be ruled out before using this, otherwise damage can be done to the eye, or things can get worse. Testing for dry eye would also be a good idea. When the eye is dry, it will produce green/yellow mucous to protect itself. The Schirmer Tear test has to be done before the fluorescein stain. Just some thoughts. I know how frustrating eye things can be.

Yes they did do a stain to rule out a scratch. The drops are an antibiotic/steriod. She mentioned something about dry eye possibly being a problem as Layla gets older but she said it isn't an issue right now- but just something to watch for. Thankfully she goes in tomorrow so maybe they can take a closer look. Today it looks ok but yesterday when I came home from the airport (i hav ebeen gone for 5 days so I really thought I'd come back and have it be perfect but my parents said it has been still quite goopy) it was very messy. | |
