I jet dropped her off a little while ago. They said her biopsy will probably be around 1:00. I'm out of class from about 11 to 3 so I'll be going by to check and wait on updates. Before they said shed go home the same day but today mentioned keeping her overnight. I really hope she gets to come home tonight

I just thought I'd post it in case anyone was interested in seeing...pretty informative if you ever have a dog having this done.

She's with anaesthesiology right now. Once the start the procedure it should take about 30 minutes

manolos mom · 02-24-2009, 11:58 AM

Thinking about you guys...It will be ok....

I just saw this and will say a prayer for darling little Lacey!

MyFairLacy · 02-24-2009, 03:27 PM

Lacy is awake and I can go pick her up and bring her home at 6:00. So I just wanted to write a quick update before I leave to go get her. They said the procedure went well..her blood pressure dropped under anaesthesia but they corrected that and she did well after that. I think they had to shave both of her front legs so they could monitor her blood pressure. They took 5 biopsies (3 for histopathy, 1 for culture, and 1 to check copper if needed). They also got a small sample of bile and took a sample of her feces (apparently there is some newly discovered parasite in Texas that is causing some liver disease in dogs..but it doesn't seem likely for her since dogs get it from ponds that have certain kinds of snails in it). They said a lot of her liver was paler in color than a normal liver, although she did have some normal spots too...and she said there was fibrosis (scarring). Other than that..we won't know anything until we get biopsy results back, which will be 3-5 days.

Wow, five biopsies! That's good that they took enough to come to a conclusion. Ellie's vet said her liver might look a bit pale, so welcome to the blub Lacy.

Im so glad everything went well. See, you guys are in good hands. Did they tell you how long before she will recover from the surgery. Hope you get great results. Peace..
