Because she’s a Boxer
We got the results back for my dog, Maisy’s, mast cell tumor biopsy. It’s Stage I, kinda II, but really I. The lab doctor says it’s a Stage I tumor, but because she’s a Boxer, it was bumped up to a Stage II. I guess Stage II and III is prevalent in the Boxer breed, and for that reason only they are considering it a Stage II. However, we are going to treat it as a Stage I, so quite honestly, it’s confusing.
What does all that mean? We are going to monitor her and watch for any new growths.
I’m just happy to report that her staples come off on Saturday! She’ll be so happy, and then she can be without that silly Elizabethan collar that she has to wear. She looks like a sunflower, a very-unhappy-to-be-a sunflower sunflower. And because of her breed, her head is so much smaller and the cone sticks out around her face a great deal. I must give her credit though, she’s mastered the art of moving around with that thing on quite well. She does have a problem when her food dish is pushed up against the wall though, she can’t quite get to it. And it was hilarious when I gave her a dog treat and it fell into her cone, and she kept moving her head back and forth thinking she’d be able to reach it, SOMEHOW.

I’m guessing Boxers are prone to cancers then?

And no picture of the collar for wordless wednesday? All joking aside-I hope she recovers from this. Poor thing.

Where are the pics? Well if it has to be cancerous than I’m glad it is just stage 1. Hope no more growths pop up.
