yes we all did the happy dance!

They believe he had a trauma to the top of the pelvic bone and this was some response to that trauma. I actually asked the vet on the day we first took him in if he could have hit that bone and caused a lump.

Anyway its all water under the bridge and although the last 10 days have aged me 10 years you all helped so very, very much

I will never be able to thank you enough

Ginger said exactly what went thru *my* mind -- leave it to Bugsy to have something "special" LOL -- **and** I hope you realize in what you said that you truly DO know this dog beyond what anyone else does! You have good instincts Karen -- from wondering if it could be a response to a bump (gee, Mr. Zoomie? Might run into something??) to your instinct to get him to the vet right away.

Made MY day for sure!

Happy early birthday Ann!!

and thank you all for joining in the celebration - the relief is amazing

We were at the vet (I think Bugsy thinks its his second home) having the incision checked and the vet that is our primary and worked with us since he was a pup came in and said he too was just stunned by the outcome. Apparently they were all in agreement that because the tissue was so hard, the roots so deep and so many roots that it was worst case scenario. None have every had a case like it.

so glad the Beast is weird - at least just this once because we dodged a bullet. No doubt about it, Thank you higher being

I'm sorry to use less-than pleasant language here, but I'll type what I just said aloud when I saw the new thread title: "Holy crap!" Big Smile I've been crossing my fingers for things like clear margins and a prognosis that included 100% recovery after some treatment, etc. I never thought about a completely different (and weird!) diagnosis altogether. This is the best news ever!

although the last 10 days have aged me 10 years

That was the other thing I thought of as soon as I read your update. Talk about an emotional roller coaster . . . the worry and sadness you've shouldered for several days would age me, for sure. No matter how much we want to learn from our dogs about living in the moment and continuing to do zoomies until you truly know what you're dealing with, we can't help but think of all the worst case scenarios. I guess Bugsy knew all along that he was OK, and therefore had no need to do the resting and recuperating that you wanted him to do since his surgery!

I'm so happy for you and your husband -- my guess is you'll both sleep extremely soundly tonight. Yay!!

Somehow I think the idog prayer/good vibe chain was working double overtime the past 10 days, and oh! How well worth it THAT was!

Prayers for my Bugsy please - it was not cancer
