Deuce's surgery was last Wednesday. He did great and is healing good and seems to being getting his energy back everyday. The doctor called today with the results. The tumor was a soft tissue sarcoma-peripheral nerve sheath tumor. It was a good thing that we got it removed because it was Cancer. Since Deuce is a small dog she took what she could out. It did have a margin which is a good thing but it was very small so there is a chance of it growing back. It was a grade 1 which I guess has only about a 5-10% of growing back. These tumors stay local and the fact that it is in his back leg and not next to any really important parts we are thinking positive and hope that it is all gone and nothing more will come of it. Other then this small bump that never gave him any pain he is a very healthy dog that has tons of energy so we know he will get through this and be back to normal in no time.
This was Deuce right when he got home. He was so tired and drugged up.
He hates the cone of course but this makes it so he can't chew his stitches out.
We are all hoping and praying that the whole tumor is out and that he will have a fast recovery.
We love you Deuce!
