Luke's Dog Georgia and Her Benign Growth

If you've followed my dog blog, you've seen some conversation between myself and another dog owner Luke in the comments. Luke's dog Georgia also had Fibroadnexal Hamartoma and he found my blog while doing research. He has sent pictures and descriptions of Georgia's growths and surgery. They are posted here with his permission. Thanks Luke for sharing your story and pictures!

Here is Georgia before (as you can see, 3 distinct lumps, with a 4th smaller one that you can't really see...the most concerning was above left eye and is really what forced my hand on getting the surgery with slowly but surely encroaching on her eye):

Here's right after surgery about to head home (for that big one above her left eye, they actually had to cut a flap of skin beneath her left ear and shift it over to the top of her head so the skin on her forehead wouldn't stretch too much and affect her ability to close her eye):

And here's right after we got home from surgery:

Here's 10 days after surgery, right after getting her stitches removed.

About 1-2 weeks later:

And now you can barely notice it!

Sorry again for taking so long...I definitely wanted to share though, because I know how I appreciated your blog.  It's always a bit scary putting your dog through any surgery, especially 1 where they're making so many incisions and placing so many stitches, so knowing that somebody else has been through it successfully helps a lot.  Not to mention, I didn't know what the heck those lumps were!  But all is well that ends well...growths are benign cysts...healing went better than expected...and insurance covered about 75% of expenses.
