Mason is going in for a lumpectomy

[marciafinn]

Mason has to go in for a lumpectomy on 10/16. I am so nervous...the vet says everything looks okay but wants to remove them to be on the safe side. He is having four removed. One is on his belly and looks almost like a nipple. The second is a small skin tag on his inner thigh. The third is on his chin and has gotten larger over the past two years. And the fourth is under the skin on his shoulder. They have drawn fluid and says it is okay but she said let's remove it if he has to go under.

I spoke with the vet and she is using Isoflurine for anestesia. I told her no ACE and she says she does not even carry it at all.

Wish us luck and keep fingers and paws crossed please everyone!!! I will update once we have heard more.

Oh poor Mason. It is great news that the lumps are simply lumps and not cancer! Wishing him a painfree surgery and recovery...

We just heard back from the vet and his blood work is normal. We checked his liver levels, kidneys levels, blood sugar, etc. So that is good news. It is optional to send the 'lumps' out for testing. I think I am going to opt for that just to know. Rather be safe than sorry.

Good luck Mason! At least you know going in what they are, that's always a plus.
