Guest 4rooers Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Rippa, my first greyhound,had a lump removed from her right rear hock last Thursday when she had her teeth cleaned. It looked like a small lipoma and had been there about a month, maybe 6 weeks. I had the doctor take it off just as a precaution while she was under for her dental. I got the call tonight that the biopsy came back as a hemangiosarcoma. My vet is getting a second opinion on the biopsy and also contacting OSU for advice. If anyone has experience with this , I would appreciate any information. She eats TOTW pacific stream, and is a healthy,happy 10 year old who weighs 55 lb. Thanks in advance, Kim PS I'm really scared! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sounds like your vet is on top of things! Hopefully it is a cutaneous form, which is much more manageable than the alternative. Keep us posted on what you hear, OK? Hugs and best luck.
