It hasn't been so much of a happy new year at my house so far.
First, discover Hoss has osteosarcoma.
About two weeks ago, found out Mexi has severe, severe arthritis in her right foreleg.
Last week, had Hoss back in the vet to have some spots checked out....he has what the vet called a 'waxy tumor' on his elbow, that we are watching closely. If it grows, then we worry. Oh, and he has mange.
Then today, I'm grooming Umah and I find this little black lump on her left hock. It is almost like a crater, it is black and then sunken in the center. It was bleeding very lightly. I shaved it and kind of felt around it, and it is hard and bleeds heavier with the lightest pressure.
So to the vet we go.
She has what the vet suspects is a mast cell tumor. Tomorrow she is having it removed and sent in to be tested.
I wont be around much. I will try to update as I find out information. Still waiting on results for Hoss's x-rays.
