Wemple Wemple. Thank you for your kind words. Newman has a Mast Cell Tumor which the vet has seen and dealt with but he's never seen it on the foot. It is a stage III. He said that he's done papers etc. and it was said that a Mast Cell on the pubic area of a male dog was more aggressive then in other areas and for this reason he does not know how this tumor will react. It's never been seen to this degree (Stage III) and in the foot. In most cases it never gets to this stage, it's removed and they are fine. It's common on the trunks of the dogs and they stage it remove it and surrounding tissue and never hear from it again. Thanks again. Elaine |
