BHRR's Ethel was spayed on July 30th and, everything went well. When it came time to remove that tiny growth/lump that had been discovered on July 15th to be on the bottom of her foot, there was not trace to be found of it….all, feet were double checked and triple checked and, it is gone. If it were not for four staff and, a Vet that witnessed it already, with it being there on July 15th, all of us would have thought we were mad! There is no sign of it anywhere…..clearly gone and, no sign of whatever it was coming back either. No one was concerned about it, yet, the Vet that did her spay is wondering if it was not some tiny sliver that, resolved. I am happy that there is no worry about there being a 'bad bump/lump/growth!' Never bothered her either.

I had a detailed conversation with the Vet who did her spay and, her uterus was definitely one of having had puppies in her past. 🙁 🙁 There were spots/marks, healed lesions where tiny placenta's had attached to her uterus and, her uterus was stretched. WELL, no more babies for her, and, I knew when she first arrived, that it would have been shocking to believe that she had been already spayed….picked up in a first nation community, starved, almost blind, with very noticeable breeding signs on her.

YET, those days are long gone…no more babies for her and, she has been developing lots of muscle mass/tone and, she really is so full of personality!!! 🙂
