Many of you know and remember our dear friend Linda Colon. Linda was the creator and
publisher of Our Rainbow Friends from January 2012 through January 2025, dedicating
thirteen years to remembering all our pets who had crossed their Rainbow Bridge. And she has had for many years her own blog, DaWeenies of Florida.
Recently, her dear little pup, Shelby, had serious health issues and was found to have a
large tumor located near her lungs. Shelby already suffered from a heart murmur and at
age 13, surgery was considered high risk. But without surgery, the prognosis was fatal.
On Tuesday, her excellent vet and his team, opened her chest, went in through her rib cage
and successfully removed the entire tumor. A tube was inserted to drain fluids and she spent
the following days at the vet for observation. This "fighting the good fight" little lady is now
resting comfortably at home and will have a recovery time of at least two weeks. Her loving
family, and pupper siblings are watching carefully over her. Mom Linda will sure appreciate
the Power of the Paw for Shelby and your caring words and thoughts, and says thank you!

Thank you to all for the love, prayers, and support. They are working. Shelby is very sore and has a 7-inch incision with staples running down the side of her body to under her "armpit".
ReplyDeleteBut she is doing well. Her appetite is good and she is starting to move around more. The vet and the surgeon expect a complete recovery and the cancerous tumor on her lung is gone.
We are just now seeing this and are relived to hear that Shelby is on the road to a complete recovery.
