A few weeks ago Sammie was limping around the house and we didn’t know why. Jeff and I got nervous that something was wrong. So we took him to the doctor and they could feel the tenderness in his upper left shoulder. He was required to take some medicine and no exercise for a week. So we did. By the end of the week, he was a lot better. He was back to his normal self.
While we were at the doctors they did a full check up on him, and he was fine. So flash forward to two weeks later I noticed a weird bump on his ear. I never saw it before and it made me a little nervous. So I thought maybe it would go away on its own. Yesterday I realized he needs to get his bordetella vaccine and we had to go in anyways. I showed Jeff the bump and how it has gotten bigger over the last week. When the doctor looked at it she looked concern. They took Sammie into the back to put a needle in the lump to get some cells to see what it could be (he was a total champ and had no problem). They came back after examine the cells and said, it is a Tumor. It doesn’t have cancer cells in it, but they said we should get it removed and send it to the histopathology.
So next Tuesday Sammie is having surgery. We are praying that the lump has no cancer cells in it after the histopathology reviews it. We are so shocked of how much this dog is going through. It could be worse, but we are going to do whatever we can to make sure everything is taken care of.
