We have all paws crossed for Nebo.

Paxil has had mast cell cancer. She had a massive tumor on her back leg when I got her. It was a grade 2 tumor, the least predictable of the mast cells. It was removed on Valentine's Day 05. 10 days later she was back in harness and she's been fine ever since.

Mast cell tumors are very common. One of the hallmarks of a MCT is that the bump will change size, even with in the course of a day they can go from big to small and back again. Treatment is generally just to remove them. No chemo or that kind of stuff. They do often reoccur. I give Paxil a full body massage every couple days. She enjoys it and it gives me a chance to make sure there are no new lumps and bumps!

Nebo's young and from the looks of that pic in the other thread, you caught this very early. Those are both very strong points in his favor! I'm sure he'll be fine.
