Holy crud! Man, the most interesting exploratory I ever got to see found us a double intussusception. I can't wait to hear what those things were!

I need to go tech at a place that works with dogs. They do such strange things.

They where all fatty tumors like lipomas but one was encapsulated an the other one wasnt and they where both inside the abdomen and not attached to anything except some blood vessels....we sent samples on both out to the state lab.

i get to do those all da time mostly on cats and puppies, ive also done afho's, torsions, gastrointerotomy and luxating patella surgeries. The weirdest thing ive seen inside a dog was a set of panties and a bra in the same dog!!! that dog died on me on the tabble, cuz he purfed but we where able to bring him back and 2day he is a healthy 2yr pup..:crazy02:

Cool. Are you going to share the path reports or the photomicrographs of the histopathology when it comes back?

We tried to retrieve the gloves endoscopically but they had hardened or something because of gastric acidity & they ended up doing a laparotomy to get the wad of solidified gloves out. They were nasty!

I love, love, love photomicrographs of path. I'm not a pathologist, nor do I play one on cable TV, but I really enjoy the "what tissue is this? what cell type is this?" game.

Edit: bra & panties in a pup? I seem to recall someone on this forum has a dog that eats panties...

Hahaha, me too! The worst part was I didn't even think it was weird! When my cast finally came off to reveal my stapled (not stitched!) up leg/knee, I had my camera out and was taking pictures with my macro lens, I was so fascinated!! haha. The pictures are pretty gross though, especially looking at them now, after I'm for the most part healed up.
 
Well guys 2day i got the results on the testing of these masses......Both where benign, but they where both necrotic lipomas. So if we hadn't removed them the infection woulda made the dog septic and it coulda killed her 2. Also i am glad to say that the pup is recovering well and is a totally diff pup more heathy dog.
 
Hey, I was right, they were lipomas. Necrotic lipomas, huh? Yeah, given the size of them the poor pup would have gone septic and died. Great save!
