Mast cell tumour

Got a call from Nala's vet today who told me that the lump on the back of Nala's neck is a mast cell tumour (MCT).

Supposed to start her on Benadryl and she's got an appointment on Tuesday for bloodwork and a chest x-ray to look for any other MCT sites. The following Tuesday she has another appointment for surgery to remove the one on her neck.

Hopefully this one hasn't spread around anywhere else and that removing this one will be the end of it.

The words "mast cell" can give any owner worries. We send our best woofs/wags to Nala. Keeping positive thoughts for Tuesday.

Hello!
Alexa, Juno and I would like to wish Nala a speedy recovery from whatever procedure she needs to get better! Get well soon and please keep us posted.

Wags and Headscratches,

Joe.

Thanks for all the well wishes for Nala. Her chest xray came out clear so it looks like the lump on her neck may be the only one. Waiting on blood work results now to see what that says.
