Rocco's gum surgery today Dropped him off at 8:00am, poor baby was so confused and shaking like a leaf. :( I was explicit in my instructions that I do NOT want any of his teeth removed unless someone calls me to discuss why and get my permission first. Fingers crossed it will not be necessary. Cried on the drive home just thinking of him wondering why mommy is leaving him there. Oh what a long day I have ahead of me. |
I am right there with you. I dropped my three off this morning for dentals also. They made me leave before they took them back. They said that way they don't think I am out in the other room. I felt so bad walking out while they watched. It will be along day for sure |
sending many prayers for Rocco to have a safe successful procedure. |
Is this the surgery for the lump on your little guy's gum? Hope all goes well today. |

Praying for Rocco and looking forward to hearing that he is out of surgery. |
Update Surgeon just called and said Rocco did well and she did not have to remove his front teeth!!! :D However, after removing the tumor the roots are a bit exposed but she hopes that the gums settle down to cover them up, and his teeth were nice and strong still. No other tumors or abnormalities in his mouth, and he had a bit of tartar that was removed (she did a full dental). She is a little concerned because even benign tumors are not often seen in a dog his age (3yrs 9 months), and will be awaiting the results of the path report. Have to call after 3pm to see when he is ready to be picked up... |
Hoping that all turns out well for little Rocco. |

Happy to hear the surgery went well. Praying that the results are negative and that he recoups quickly. Gentle hugs to Rocco. |
Glad to read that Rocco is ok, hope it comes back benign. |
I know how scared you must be but let's pray that it's nothing more than just a tumor and nothing more. Hoping and praying little Rocco is resting and feeling well very soon. I know this has got to be rocky time for you two so am praying hard for you both. |
Thank you all so much for your caring thoughts. My little guy came home looking so awful and groggy, but was begging for food and ate some chicken and rice a little while ago. Also peed and pooped, and is resting well now - such a little trooper! Vet sent pain meds home (Remadyl?) for the next 4 days, so my sweet little angel should be feeling much better soon. Will update when lab results are back, which will take 3-5 days. Ugh. |
So so happy that his surgery went well. Hopefully her will have a smooth recovery ! |
Awww, poor little guy. I'm glad all went well & will be Praying for a good biopsy result. |
How is Rocco feeling today ? |

Oh my. :( The poor baby! I hope he has a speedy recovery, and let's hope there is no other concern and that he is going to be healthy from here on!! |
Update: Path report Very happy to say I got a call from the surgeon this morning, and the path report came back as "gingival hyperplasia"(overgrowth of gum tissue), specific to lymphoplasmacytic gingivostomatitis. Good news considering the alternatives. But I asked her about the cause, since he didn't have gingivitis or much plaque on his teeth at all. She said that some dogs' immune systems overreact to an irritation or pocket and then the gingival overgrowth is the result. She was pretty confident that it would not come back, given the single growth and location on his front teeth. I just need to check his mouth regularly to be sure there is no recurrence. Thank you all so much for your prayers and kind concern for Rocco! |
Good news ! Glad to see all is well and your fella Rocco is doing better. |
Good news. The waiting is the worst part. Now enjoy your day. |
Thank you for the update, hope it never comes back! |
Great news! Praying it never grows back, and that Rocco's mouth heals completely soon. Thank you for sharing the update. |
Great news!!!! Praying it never comes back again! |
