Rex had a bit of a set back having his drain put back in for an additional 3 days.  The growth was large and his body needed more time to deal with the empty space.  He is doing fantastic now and no longer needs the cone; we were all tired of being run into with it anyway!  Rex also received a thorough bath, as much for our sake as his!  His ear infections have cleared up, although we are continuing daily medication for the next couple weeks just to be safe.  After that he will need any adopter to be vigilant and do weekly ear cleanings.  It is the usual routine of squirting some solution in his ear and massaging it.  He is used to it and does not put up a fuss.  It is not that future infections are expected but important to take preventive care seriously and handle any issues asap.
These action pictures are a bit blurry but show Rex back to normal playing with Chi Chi Be.  He is sporting a bad haircut from the surgery but his hair is already starting to grow back.

Rex had very good results at his 2 week vet re-check.  The vet saw better than expected improvement with ear mites/infection and thought another month of daily medication would do the trick.  Such awesome news!!! I can already tell that he is much more comfortable.  The next hurdle is removal of his lymphoma scheduled for later this week.   I am sure he will come thru with flying colors,  Chi Chi Be will wait eagerly for him to come home after his day surgery.
And as always, Chi Chi Be and Rex are side by side.
