Gruss had his surgery yesterday for the lump removal. All went well and Dusty was able to pick him up at 7:30pm. I was just walking in the door from a long day at school as he was walking out to get Gruss. Therefore I didn't go and opted to clean up and make dinner so we could still eat at a reasonable hour.
This is where the mistake was made. I'm positive Dusty walked in the vets office, told them who he was picking up, saw Gruss walk out from the back, and that was that. He had his dog still in one piece, and all was dandy in the world.
They get home and I check out Gruss and gave him a big 'ol hug. Then I start in on the questions with Dusty.
1. How did he do?
2. Did the vet give any indication on what he thought the lump was after he removed it?
3. How long to get the biopsy results?
4. Did they do the x-ray today or are they doing it in 2 weeks?
To which I get a lot of "I don't know, I forgot to ask" answers.
Later on in the evening he declared that he was going to give him his meds "just in case" because he forgot to ask when to start him on them (now or in the morning). Aye aye aye. Just super.
Lesson learned on my end: Never trust him to take future children to the Dr's without a list of questions and a pencil to write down the answers ;)
I called this morning and the biopsy results will take 7-10 business days. All is well with Gruss so far post surgery. We have seen him scratch the wound a little tonight so the itching must be setting in. He seems to be having a great time going along with Dusty to work though :)
