Tumor removal (update page 2)

While grooming Mikko I found a tumor about the size of a quarter under his tail and above his rectum . Took him to the vet and they have surgery scheduled for Monday.
  • Thanks for the positive thoughts Scottiemom, Rbak, Deb&Ed M, DotlDaddy, and Arizona pops.

    Mikko is in surgery now.
  • Mikko had no issues during surgery. All his blood work looked good as well. I get to pick him up at 4 today. Kind of hard to think Mikko is my younger Collie at 11 years old.
  • Yay, Mikko! I hope he is not in too much pain, that's such a sensitive area. Wonderful that it was not a malignancy. It's such a worry anytime they need surgery. You must be sleeping much easier tonight.
  • Great news! Hope Mikko's healing is painless and uneventful, and that you are also feeling better, Colliehauler!

    At the risk of being disgusting.... if *I* had surgery there, I'd want everything to be nice and loose, too ;-)

    Hugs to Mikko - glad he's doing well!!
