Poor Kiri Mac isn't half going through it this year. In February she had an operation to removed 3 large bits of plastic toy for her stomach, now in June 12 and a half year old Kiri has had to have another operation. This time she's had 3 teeth removed and a huge puss filled cavity cleaned out. The vet agrees that the medication she's been on since she was diagnosed with MMM in 2003 may well have contributed to her rotting teeth. (I've never had a dog with bad teeth before)Still this medication was needed and has kept her in good health for all these years.
The lump that Kiri had on the top of her shoulder had been there for about a couple of years. The vet regularly emptied it and cleaned it for her. After another vet attempted to do the same thing the lump started to look very angry, so it was decided that since she would be out for the count having her dental, the lump could be removed as well. We were extremely shocked to find such a huge scar, but the lump which to the eye was no bigger than a 50p was apparently very deep rooted.
Tomorrow Kiri will be going to the job centre to see if she can find a seasonal job to pay off her second vet bill of over £600 this year!!!
