Stella had the surgery this morning to remove the skin tags mentioned in my last post. Originally our vet thought she would do the procedures under sedation but changed her mind and opted for general anesthesia as the bump on the back of Stella's hind leg would take a bit longer and she didn't want Stella to have any discomfort.
Surgery went fine and Stella came home with a few pink stitches on her paw and leg. Both skin tags were sent out to pathology and we should have the results early next week. The stitches will be removed in about 10 days.
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.
So frustrating there was no follow up on the skin tag being cancerous or not.
