Burpdog Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's been a tough one, but Huston will have the other tumor removed on Tuesday. He will be monitored after surgery because the entire thing will come out which means he loses the para thyroid glands and will need calcium to avoid serious complications. The other option I researched was the Iodine 131 injection suggested by one of his vets. The problem is no one here does it for dogs. I found two that do it for cats. The tumor is visible and it's either take it out or watch it get bigger and compromise his trachea. Here's hoping....
