YAY!!!
We received the call from the veterinarian. Macy came through the surgery just fine and she is waking up right now. They did x-rays & an ultrasound to see what the stage of the cancer is, and everything came back clear! All Clear! This means Stage 0.
He explained that it didn’t necessarily mean that there would never be any other cancerous lumps. But it did mean that there wasn’t anything else right now. Phew. At least that’s a start, right?
After the staging, he went in to remove the tumor on the foot. In order to be as agressive as possible so that we would hopefully not be here again, he had to amputate two toes. They are her outside toes (the ring finger toe and the pinkey finger toe on her hind leg).
Just waiting for the call to find out if we can bring her home tonight…

Hi there, I just saw that you had a link to my blog, and thought I would pop in and say “hi”. I am in the Bay Area too (basically born and raised). And I LOVE my puppy more than anything (except for the doggie that I lost to cancer in January)….my doggies are my babies, really truly. Anyway, come by and say hi or send me an e-mail if you want. Take care.

Hello!
Any updates? My doggy is sick right now and he has something that looks just like this on his hind foot. He also has a tumor in his nose and possibly in his neck. Did the doc name this type of cancer?

“Mast cell tumor” Thats the only name that they gave the cancer.

My dog has this
She’s being seen today. Wish us luck. I hope it’s nothing serious. And I hope the vet office will take payments.
