Are you KIDDING me right now?! 🥹💜 All 3 lbs of Buttons is just TOO MUCH cuteness!
Dr. Mayne recently performed a mast cell tumor (MCT) excision on this tiny sweetheart’s leg, and we couldn’t resist sharing her adorable little face!
Not all lumps and bumps are created equal! Lots of owner are confused on why we recommend testing masses before AND after removal.
Testing before helps our surgical planning and submitting masses for histopathology after determines exactly what they are, whether they’re benign or malignant, and if they’ve been completely excised. Mast cell tumors, in particular, can vary in behavior, so getting answers matters, even when the mass is tiny!
