Just thought I'd let you guys in on my scary story of the week and ask that you keep Lilly in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow:
Around the end of last week, I notice a bump on Lilly's chest. I just thought it was a new skin tag, but I decided to make a mental note about it to ask the vet to check it when we came in today.
So Lilly has appt (60.3 lbs, 22.75" high at withers, healthy, happy and well behaved) and I remembered to have the vet look at her skin tags and then the new bump. The vet says she is worried about it and that when Lilly goes into surgery tomorrow (spay before her heat cycle next month) she will do a biopsy and if it comes back irregular that she will remove it, call me and let me know what she did, and recommend a course of action. She (vet) said that a lot of skin cancers look like the bump on her chest, but that I shouldn't worry about it yet because it's only one spot and they are gonna biopsy it tomorrow and if it is cancer then they will likely be treating it in the earlier stages because I noticed it and had them check it out. I love it when a vet tells me I'm a good mom, but I wish they didn't do it when telling you that your baby may have skin cancer. Other than that her visit went great and they said she is one of the best behaved, most calm service dogs that they've seen or had in the office.
