My Favorite Son
Rowdy, was diagnosed with Cancer about 3 weeks ago. We noticed a growth on his neck. The new Vet (we like her) ran blood tests, took x-rays, needle aspirations and an ultrasound. The 5 aspirations came back as cancer, but only one showed the type, Mass Cell Tumor. The x-rays, blood tests and ultrasound did not show signs of spread to his internal organs. Although, his lymph nodes are swollen. Yesterday, he had surgery to remove 3 of the masses and a biopsy of his lymph nodes. The lab results will be sent over to the oncologist. We should know what the results were by the end of this week.
This is not the first time, two years ago while we were on vacation, my “Eldest” Son had to take Rowdy to the vet. A growth on his torso would not stop bleeding. The Vet (I will not go back there) told me it was a mass tumor, but the biopsy showed no signs of cancer. When Rowdy was having a bad side effect because of the medication she prescribed, she blew it off and asked if I believe everything I read on the internet. Bad Doctor!
He’s doing fine. Last night he was a bit whiny and I spent some time lying down on the floor with him. We made his bed nice and comfy. He looked like he was in a car accident and still had blood on his face. The technician tried to clean it off, but he wouldn’t let her touch him. Poor Puppy.
Rowdy right after surgery. They removed a mass on the left side of his face.
The morning after, feeling much better.
