Miz J Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Does anyone have any experience with mast cell tumours in ther dogs? One of our boxers has a small tumour located on the outer aspect of his hind leg. Localised to the skin and we have got it early. Vet is recommending surgical removal which we will do as soon as possible. Just curious to hear of anyone elses experience with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janba Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Sorry to hear this. My dally had a mast cell tumour diagnosed and removed when she was 12 months old. It was caught early and removed with clean margins. She is now 9 and has had no re occurance. Search Ollies story in the health forum. You will find a lot of info there about mast cell tumours. Good luck. ETA link http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/125943-mast-cell-cancer/page__hl__ollie Edited August 23, 2011 by Janba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
