| Anal Gland Carcinoma - maybe Hi everyone - So I just got back from a follow up visit at the Vet with Hugo and I'll know tomorrow or Friday if he has anal carcinoma. I first noticed a hard marble-like in size bump by his anal area when giving him a bath. Took him in immediately and they thought it could be his anal glands, gave me some meds and today was the follow up. It's still there, maybe a little smaller. They squeezed it and under the microscope it didn't look like it should. So it's getting tested and will know by Friday. Anyone experience this before? He's 11 years old, neutered, doesn't scoot or chase his tail, etc. I've been a wreck since leaving the vet. Thanks! Pegah |

| I'm very you and Hugo are going through this. I don't have any experience with carcinoma, but my little angel, Ashley, has an anal gland tumor when she was thirteen. It was a painful surgery for her because of the sensitive area and all of the nerve endings, but she did well afterwards. Ashley lived for four more years. The tumor came back, but it was small and Ashley didn't need surgery again. I hope you get good news when you get the pathology report back.

| Thank you for your reply. Hopefully it's not cancer and the vet mentioned possible surgery to remove it. I'm happy to hear that when Ashley's tumor came back she at least didn't need the surgery again. She could out her life without the aftermath of surgery. I wish I could stop crying at least until I hear back from the vet. Hugo's so happy and healthy. I hate this. |

| Because of the area, I would recommend having a soft tissue surgeon take a look at it. They can end up with a lot of issues including incontinence after surgery for these things. Hopefully this will be benign. Prayers for your boy.

| Maximo and Ladyjane - Thank you both. Everyone's prayers mean so much. I hope to be posting in the next day or two with good news. Ladyjane - I take Hugo to VCA West Los Angeles and they have the best veterinarians there. Thank you for the advise. I will be sure to talk to his vet about the specialist if/when time comes. |

| Nothing new to report. Pathology results didn't come today which means probably tomorrow. The anxiety is the worst. Hugo is being his happy self! Eating well, playing, etc. like always. Thank you for all the kind words and prayers. Hoping to post good news tomorrow! |
