Our German Shorthair Pointer, Annie Dog

Today wasn't so good for Annie Dog. Where they removed the tumor on her lower jaw and down her neck, she became very swollen. The incision is about 4 inches long.

I took her to town this afternoon to the vet and they used a needle to withdraw a huge amount of fluid. By the time I got her back home, it was swollen again. I should have watched them do the procedure so I could do it at home.

Tonight I put a hot pack on her for 20 minutes as they recommended. She seemed to like the feel of the heat.

Personally, I think they should have put a drain tube in the incision.

Hope she is better soon. Still waiting for the biopsy results.
