6greyhounds Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Just back from the ER vet. Hershey's tail had some blood on it Sunday I thought she bumped it while outside. Cleaned it up and continued with her meds. Monday noticed a small lump and cried a little bit when I touched it figured it was swollen from an injury. When my grandson Adam came tonight I asked him to see if she would let him check it and he discovered a hole on the underside of the tail. Decided to take her to the ER Vet and they told me it was cancer and are going to amputate the tail above the tumor. Hole was about the size of a dime. Will probably get her home in the am. Won't know what type of cancer it is until the biopsy report comes back Quote It is better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at allMissing my Big Blue eyed Bear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6greyhounds Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Just off the phone with Hershey's vet - came through surgery okay, took tail off 2 vertebrae above the tumor, will send out a section for biopsy, platelets were good and chest x-ray clear. Has anyone here heard about cancer in the tail? But then only weird things happen to me and my pups....
