Mast cell tumour....

Little Flick greyhound went to the vets yesterday as I was increasingly concerned about the lump on her toe - she has been put on antibiotics and pain killers for the weekend, in the hope that the lump decreases in size.

I knew in my heart that it wouldn't get smaller and it wasn't an abscess, it is hard and bleeds easily - the vet has already spoken to me about taking the toe off this coming week, which didn't really concern me as it is very common for greyhounds to have toes removed.

Then I made the mistake of looking online today after Flick knocked her toe on the dog walk and it bled again.

I am 95% certain that it is a mast cell tumour.....

I am totally devastated, I know there are three different grades and Flick might be lucky, but I cannot bear to think that I might lose my little white greyhound so soon after Islay. She isn't even 11 yet and she acts like she is about 2. It just isn't fair for her :(

My parents Weimaraner had one on her tail, she chewed it off before it was removed and it never came back and she lived another two and a half years. Fingers crossed for you both.
