woolfy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 We had the same thing with one of ours she will be 12 this year . Behind the right rear knee. And it came back as Melanoma skin cancer. The lump was black in color. Big debate between oncologists and pathologist if it's cancer or not. Dr. Couto said as a GENERAL rule there not cancerous. Our holistic vet said the same thing and he would of left it in place and not of removed it. What color was her lump. Wish you all the best. Woolfy Quote Dogs are our link to paradise.

Guest Sassifrass Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I may have missed it, but did the vet xray the leg to check if there is any bone involvement? If it hasn't been done, please insist that an xray is taken. I hate to even mention this, but I lost a grey to osteo which first showed up with a tumor on the front "shin". Hopefully it's nothing, but please be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meandmy Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Thanks everyone for thinking of us. Shadow had his surgery today and they are confident that they got all of the tumor out. The bad news is that he is in quite a bit of pain. Enough so that they would like to keep him overnight. The vet said he screamed when they tried to get him up to go out and potty The incision on his knee had to be fairly large and the vet thinks it's going to take a while to heal. My poor boy is going to be uncomfortable for a while. It's going to be hard not to have Shadow home with us tonight. But, I know he's in good hands and they will be able to deal well with his pain. I'm taking Friday off to spend at home with him and make up for his time at the vet. ETA: The tumor will be sent out tonight and we will hopefully know exactly what kind of tumor we're dealing with sometime the beginning of next week. Hoping it's a one-shot deal.

Meandmy Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I was told they would call me today with an update, but I couldn't wait anymore so I called them. Luckily, they're very patient with me They said that Shadow's doing much better today! He's been laying around, watching what's happening around him and is much more comfortable. So, I get to pick him up tonight. Whew! Now if I can just figure out how to get him out of the car (he screams when we try to lift him ) Quote Jenn, missing Shadow (Wickford Big Tom), Pretty Girl (C's Pretty) and Tori (Santoria) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
