Scary Morning

I woke up this morning and Pheona had licked her tumor until it was bleeding again. Blood always makes me panic. First thing I saw when I got out of bed was blood on the carpet and running down her leg some. We put styptic powder on it to stop the bleeding.

This was taken later, after most of the blood was cleaned up.

Luckily the blood seems to blend into the pattern/color of my carpet.

Because she was licking it while we weren't paying attention we decided we should try bandaging it. She is a really well behaved dog, if I tell her to leave the bandage alone she will do a good job. It might get to be too much of an urge when we are sleeping again, I hope not. I don't want to put a cone on her, but I will if I have to.

Since we decided to bandage it we thought now would be a good time to try putting oil directly onto the tumor. We gooped on enough to cover it well. We put a gauze pad on and some of that stuff that looks like ACE bandage but is kinda rubbery and sticks to itself by kind of clinging. It isn't adhesive though so it won't stick to her fur. On top of that a round of First Aid tape to hold it on securely. It has been on for a few hours now, and so far no messing with it.

The yellowish stuff at the top is Styptic powder, to stop the bleeding. Again, edited for modesty.

Putting the cannabis oil directly onto the tumor, where the skin is torn away.

A bandaged bunghole! Poor thing.

I am anxious to see what her tumor looks like in the morning when we change out the bandage. Hopefully we see it starting to shrink soon!
