Thank you so very much to all of you for your crossed everything, good thoughts, and vibes. I got a call around noon (but was at work so could not post) that the surgery was over, Flem was awake, and everything went fine. That is one worry out of the way.
The side lipoma is verified and out, no need to send it in; she has three stitches at the site so it should be a small incision. We can resume walking day after tomorrow. She's never had stiches before (spay was done with laser and closed with surgical glue if I remember correctly) so I don't know how she'll react but I have two different kinds of cones just in case.
The mouth bump is out, the vet lasered out all around the removal site, and was able to save the molar it encroched on. I can go pick Flem up in about an hour; she'll come home with pain meds and will be on soft food (and no chewies or toys in mouth, oy veh !) for 5 days. We'll have the stitches removed in about 10 days and we should have the biopsy results by then.
The vet said she'll be a bit slow today (but can eat tonight if she feels like it, yay !) and I will keep up with the meds to make sure she is not in pain and does not overdo it. I'll sleep downstairs with her tonight and then we'll take turns if needed.
You cannot know how much your support is appreciated.
