Good News About Sebastian

We have some very good news about Sebastian! When he went in for his surgery, the vet discovered that the growth on his lower lip had gotten much smaller while he was on antibiotics, so he delayed the surgery to give the antibiotics more time to work. He went back on Friday for his follow-up appointment, and to my complete amazement, the growth was gone. I knew I wasn’t able to see it anymore, but the vet couldn’t find any sign of it either, even when using his surgical lamp. It seems that the thing that two vets initially believed was a tumor was just a horrid abscess!

Sebastian will continue what’s left of his antibiotics, and then, unless the growth comes back, he’s done with treatment. It’s amazing, because a couple weeks ago, we were all but certain that he had oral cancer, and today, he’s a perfectly healthy gerbil again! Miracles do happen! :)
