Dog has had a very large lump on his head since June. He has had a variety of blood test with no results.... no cancer cells. Friday he had x -rays and a biopsy. Nasty surgery to look at. Whatever it is , it is in his skull too, not just on that head bump. Cyst or tumor?- we'll find out Friday. He's 7 years old and a great dog. Sure hate to lose him.
Best possible outcome for you and your dog Sharon...
Hoping it's just a cyst from a sharp stick or something easy to fix..
Best of luck and a speedy recovery for the pup..
Wish you both well...
Best of luck
Positive thoughts from us!
Best of luck for the best possible outcome !!
Best of luck,Sharon. All the best.
My thoughts are with you
Sorry to hear about your poor buddy Sharon.
We decided to buy Pet Insurance for our dogs for times like that...takes the money factor out of the equation. So far we are ahead of the insurance company..knock on wood.
Thanks Mike.
I used to have insurance ,but never got ahead of the insurance fee. This was a $2000.00 bill so the company I had would not have even covered half of that. Thankfully, we have 2 good pensions here so can handle the cost. If it is cancer though, I'll put the dog down when life is no longer fun for him - one of the many responsibilities of owning a dog. I'd hoped he'd live to 14, but if it is cancer an older rescue will be next.
Hopefully the results will be back soon.
Sharon hoping it works out for you guys.
Hope it works out Sharon. SEven is very young IMO.
Well, it is a low grade tumor.....Apocrine adenomas in a sweat gland. Very uncommon. They grow slowly and there is no chance of recurrence following surgical extirpation. He sees the specialist surgeon next week.
Appreciate the PMs/posts I've received; thank you.
Best of luck, years ago my dog had surgery for swollen gland or glands beside her butt. They didn't attach or damage anything just a noticable swollen lump. She was back to herself in a couple weeks following surgery.Quote:

Before we could get a CAT scan /surgery ,cancer had moved from the skull to the brain. Seizures starting. Nothing can be done. We'll put him down when he's suffering. (Today he's running around like a pup.:)) Only 7; I'd hoped he'd live till 14, but..... I believe God is still in control.
That is too bad Sharon.... Wishing you the best possible outcome....
Very sorry Sharon ..... here's hoping you get more "puppy" time with him.
