Panda, what a trooper!

Our girl Panda is so brave. Well, she didn't know she was being brave, but whatever. She has been growing quite the tumor on her usually gorgeous face. Over the past few years, it has gotten bigger and bigger and bigger, so that it had gotten larger than a golf ball, almost the size of a squash ball.
Anyway, we thought it would have been way too expensive to have removed, but the Oakland SPCA really made it affordable. Panda went in for her face lift this week, and she came home with over 20 staples in her face.
We were afraid that she would be really adversely affected by pain meds or anti-inflammatories as she had been in the past, but they didn't even send us home with any pain meds and she showed no signs of pain.
The wind has definitely been taken out of her sails, but she looks a million years younger after her 'facial rejuvenation.'
Here are her before and after shots. You'll know which is which!
