We asked the radiation therapist if we could give Stella a bath if we were careful not to wash off the marker lines. He said they preferred we did not as a bath may may cause irritation or dryness to the skin. He said it's best that we wait until the treatments are completed and the skin is fully healed.
I created this blog to give pet owners like you a chance to follow my Pug's journey with Mast Cell Tumor treatment through a pet owner's perspective - not through the confusing and often-times scary clinical world. I am assuming that readers already have basic knowledge of MCT’S (grading, excision requirements, etc). I do not have any veterinary training and am not an expert on pet health. Please consult with your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your pet has a MCT.

Radiation Therapy Treatment #12
Hard to see in the pictures but in person it appears Stella's skin may be starting to have a reaction to treatment. She doesn't seem to mind when we touch her arm but we're trying not to just in case.
