My dad got her to the vets at just after 9 this morning.
Paula, the vet, said she wanted to give her a cuddle before she went under anaesthetic. She did, she said she forgot the side of the cyst and moved, then she had a loads of pus on her shirt! LOL - She laughed too!
She said she had to give Icey a General as the cyst was attatched to some blood vessels. And didn't want to cause any shock.
She was under for about 2 and a half hours! Paula said she removed the large cyst and had cleaned it all up nicely inside. She then found a smaller fatty lump a little further down and so removed that too.
I called the vet at 12-30 and she said I could come and get her at 4pm.
Paula explained all then. Said that Icey came round with no trouble and had been bright and alert! She ate almost straight after she came round! Icey also had an antibiotic injection and a high dose pain killer one.
We had a look at the wound and Paula said she had stitched her up with internal stitches cos piggies are a pain at keeping clean when they shouldn't and might pull them out if they were outside ones!
Icey then started to lick herself. So Paula said that when we got her home to either put a support bandage around her or a sock with the legs holes cut in so that she couldn't lick and would also be fine and safe to go back to Tiny!
On the way home - the vets is a 15 minute walk - we got her some grass and she was munching on that!
The wound
Cuddling Me. (excuse my ugly mush)
She came up to me and fell asleep! First she was on the table, then put her paws on my tummy as if saying 'pick me up mummy', I did then she had a quick snooze!
She's now got a bandage on and look like a little jumper! My poor baby!
We take her back on friday for another couple of injections and to also check the wound is healing as it should.
Paula is ever so great!
