3 Days Post Treatments

It is the day before Stella's first check-up; the appointment at which the radiation therapist said they would shave any dead tissue that developed.

We have been applying the Silver Sulfadiazine Cream 2-3 times a day as directed for the past 3 days.  Skin has already started to slough off by itself when Stella is laying down (as seen in the pics).  The burn areas do seem to be somewhat painful to her now so we are applying the cream with a very gentle dabbing motion as opposed to rubbing it.  

Other than not liking when we apply the cream to her wound area, Stella does not seem to be in much pain.  She continues to act like her usual self.  We are however continuing to give her the two oral pain meds (Gabapentin and Tramadol) just in case.








With flecks of skin that sloughed off on her blanket.



With cream applied.

  1. What grade was Stella tumor ? Did she receive 3 weeks of daily radiation where she needed to be put under ? If so, can dogs handle this safely ?
