Tesla's surgery yesterday went well. When we got to the veterinary clinic to pick up the dogs, the vet told us that the lump did not have deep roots and was confined to the skin layers. Her teeth cleaning went well (no extractions necessary) and she had her nails trimmed. She has some stitches that will need to come out in a couple of weeks, but otherwise is in good shape the vet techs told us that she cried all day after she woke up.

Sam did not get his teeth cleaned. The vet takes blood work prior to putting a dog under general anesthesia, and Sam's blood work indicated that something is up with his kidneys and liver. They took a urine sample and we'll know more in three days. The vet agreed that there doesn't appear to anything overtly wrong with him so she's fairly confident that its nothing serious.

Poor Sam. He sat all day with nothing to eat because we had to fast him for the anticipated anaesthesia. And, because Tesla was so upset after she woke up, they put Sam in the kennel with her and he had to put up with her crying all day. When the vet brought the dogs out to us, Tesla calmed down and stopped crying and Sam started wiggling and couldn't stop crying. The vets had a laugh at the behavior swap.
