Poor Millie. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but if I’m your groomer I look at every inch of your dog’s skin every time I groom them. I often notice things first and alert you to see the vet. This time I noticed an odd lump on my dog. So today we saw the vet. My gut reaction was spot on. Mass cell tumor. The kind of cancer doesn’t really matter. We treat it all the same. Remove a wide margin around it. And keep watch to make sure it heals well. I’ll keep searching her skin every month just like I always do. And my vet says that’s all he could ask of me. She’s wearing a diaper to keep the other dogs out of her incision at the base of her tail. And she’s wearing a cone to keep her out of it because I know it’ll itch like crazy as it starts to heal. Gosh I love this girl. And I HATE cancer.
