Hello everyone. Tanner is home now and recovering from a 2 and 1/2 hour surgery to attempt to remove a cancerous mast cell tumor. This is the same one he had about 4 years ago, only this time it came back bigger and has gotten into some lymph nodes. They tried to remove it all, but could not remove some by his right front leg without amputating that leg. The vet said dogs Tanner's age don't do well with 3 legs, so he took out what he could. He also took out some muscle as well. Tanner is on antibiotics and pain meds and for the rest of his life he will be one daily high does of benadryl and also a zantac a day. These are to help slow the regrowth of this tumor as it will come back. Hopefully he'll recover soon and can at least have one more enjoyable summer. He is a very special dog.
