Guest IrskasMom Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 but I can't find it! My Morty has a Lump on his Hindend Thigh and it was established with his last Checkup that it is a Mastcell Tumor.He said , it can be removed by his next Dental (which we have not scheduled yet ).I just paid for all Bloodwork and Test. So I should actually schedule the Dental or if I wait to long,he will have another Bloodwork to be done and I pay again .What is actually a Mastcell Tumor and how dangerous is it??? Anybody with experience ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBooMama Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I have had no personal experience but a friend did. She had it removed immediately because of the possible complications.

Guest tinams8 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 It needs to come off right away. My dog had one and they scheduled the surgery for the next day. It not a simple surgery or recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batmom Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Argh. Yeah, you want to get that off sooner rather than later. Hoping it's in an easy spot to take off and doesn't recur.
