Well our beloved Buffy Dog has already been through so much in her short 6 years of life. At 1 1/2 years old she had to have a full hip replacement, a couple of years ago she had a cancerous tumor and it was removed successfully, a couple of months ago she blew out her knee and had major knee surgery…. And now we have discovered a lump on her left front ankle.

My wife and I took her to the vet right away and and our vet was able to aspirate the lump and get a sample of what was inside. She saw some spindle cells and was a bit concerned (those can mean there is cancer) and shipped the sample off to the lab for further examination. The results came back the same and after another visit to the vet she suggested we make an appt. with the oncologist at our local VCA. Buffy dog goes in on the 28th to get it looked at by the doggy oncologist and they suggested a biopsy with wide margins to get a real good idea of what is going on.

The bottom line is we truly love our animals and if you can just take 2 seconds and think of a positive thought I would really appreciate it. She is the kindest most gentle creature and we want nothing more for her to live a very long, healthy and happy life with us.
