Beckon Has a Tumor: Not Good

[granite]

He's just a BABY!
WHAT!
Well, we'll be adding Beckon and your family to our prayer list. I'm hoping for an uncomplicated procedure and a negative biopsy results.

Has Beckon been biting it? I don't recall my dog's looking that red and irritated.

After I read that I went back and looked at the picture. I bet he has, because he has blood on his fur around the area.

Yes, he was licking and biting at it. But it is red like a raspberry.

Did your vet look at it or are you just scheduled for surgery?

I will keep Beckon in my thoughts. Hopefully it will be nothing.

Oh geez Hope it is just a histocytoma. They look alot like a mast cell tumor. They are benign and much more common in dogs his age. Best to get it off and be safe.

So sorry to hear about Beckon, Chris. We'll be storming St. Francis for him, don't you worry. I'm sure Dr. Shelli is right. It would be unusual for him to have a serious tumor at his age. But I'd worry too, of course. Keep the faith, and we'll be thinking about all of you.
