Kopper's large mass was biopsied and was found to be benign. We waited a few weeks for Kopper to gain some weight and get stronger before scheduling her surgery. Kopper had her surgery this past Thursday and it went very well. I visited with Kopper yesterday and she was up and about and was anxious to go outside for a short walk. She had a very long incision so it will take a while before Kopper can discontinue her pain medication. The doctor wants Kopper to stay under his care for a few more days and then she can go to a loving foster home to continue her recuperation. Kopper has made many friends at the vet's office. Everyone keeps remarking about what a wonderful dog she is. As soon as Kopper is feeling her best, we'll be on the look out for a loving forever home for her.
