Boxer Insane
Healing vibes going out to GDOGS.
Don't panic too much. Roxi had a small (quarter size) MCT removed two years ago and has another smaller one that we'll be having the vet look at this week. The scar on her knee is as ugly as can be, but that was mostly because there isn;t a whole lot of extra skin there to play with. As long as the tumor is small and contained, the vet should be able to remove it with clean margins and you have a very good chance of never seeing it again. Additional research I was looking at this week said although Boxers are more prone to MCT, they also tend to have the mildest form (grade 1).
