Default Bad dog news.
In article ,

Took Kiya, our 'shelter hound' English Pointer to the vet yesterday to see about a 1/2 inch bump on
a rear leg. The bump was diagnosed as a mast cell tumor. She goes in today to get it, and about a
1/2 inch of flesh around the tumor, removed. Hopefully, the edges of the incised flesh will be
'clean'.

Keep fingers crossed. If a believer, a little prayer might be in order.

Our Lab, Buffy, had one of these also. She went for radiation treatments at North Carolina State for
a month. The radiation worked - she was free of mast cells for about seven years, when she was
finally downed by a nerve sheath tumor on her shoulder. Those things are horrendous.

Our GSD had a nerve ending tumor excised and biopsied. The vet siad that
he would be getting more of these as time goes by. While he was under
sedation they did an x-raw of his hips and they balls and sockets were a
mess. Later on he went to live at the big farm in the sky.
