Sorry - no pictures for this one, but I thought you would all want to know that Roo's biopsy came back and the growth that was removed from her shoulder is absolutely not threatening. She's fine.
The little Kahookie has to spend the night at the vet, though, because the incision isn't healing well. It's my fault. I don't think I kept her immobilized enough once it looked like it was closing up. After the staples went in two days ago I kept her completely quiet, but she's a puppy, and occasionally she jumps or pounces, and the incision pulled apart again. Maybe she scratched it overnight. Could it be that the e-collar preventing her from licking it made her scratch it instead?
Anyway. She couldn't be in better hands, and the main thing is that puppy Roo is healthy. Considering the shape she was in five weeks ago, this isn't anything to worry about.
NB FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW ROO IS A DOG IN THE US THAT WAS TERRIBLY FEARFUL AND NOT ONE OF JAN'S DOGS
Another ROO update
