KiKi is having his leg amputated...

[JustineNYC]

My boyfriends vet called him with the biopsy results. Its an aggressive cancer that grows rapidly but they do not believe itll spread, its only localized....and neither his vet, or my vet thinks they will ever be able to get all of it out of that joint, so tuesday morning, we are amputating. The vet doesnt feel lumps anywhere else and he is eating, drinking, pooping and playing fine.

We are waiting on his bloodwork, itll be back today or tomorrow..so if you could spare some good thoughts for us, id appreciate it.

My boyfriend lives about an hour away, and he is very very squeamish, if he sees blood, bloody bandages, he passes out...so Kiki is being operated on at my vet, and he will stay here with me until he is all patched up and ready to go home with his daddy.


Here he is at the vet this morning....



Thanks in advance!

Aawww - poor Kiki. Good news tho, that it doesn't appear that it has spread.

Prayers for Kiki, that all goes well, and he is up and learning to maneuver with his new and revised anatomy, in no time at all!

Prayers for you and "dad" too.

Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are going out to Kiki. I hope that everything goes well and that he recovers quickly.

The CREW is sending their best. Demetri in particular as he is a tri, he says to tell Kiki not to worry, it only slows the jumping down. But it brakes work great if you drop your butt to stop.

Prayers for poor Kiki - it's OK, honey, you'll adapt just fine! I'm sorry you have to go through it, though.

Prayers for Kiki, that this is life-saving for him, and that he recovers quickly.

I'd be surprised if there were "bloody bandages" as I think they suture up with some extra skin and it is quite clean.

But still, you get to spoil Kiki at your place for a while, and give him some pain meds.

Looking forward to a good update!

I am so glad the cancer has not seemed to have spread. I am wishing KiKi a speedy recovery and a long, long, life.
