Carly is an 8 year old GSD mix. She is my gentle girl who puts up with the littles with a great deal of grace.

It was a Grade II tumor. He wasn't able to get 2 cm outside the tumor because of where it was on her leg, but the report showed clear margins.

We are taking a wait and see attitude right now. She is still having problems with the sedation a week afterwards. She doesn't get rid of it like a normal dog, so she was drugged for a couple of days and still is having trouble with appetite. Poor baby.

Thanks for the information, I'll definitely check it out. And thanks for the prayers. I'm a firm believer that they will help tremendously.

Bear had a Grade II removed from his abdomen area about 4 years ago. they got 2 cm clean margin around all of it but one small area there just wasn't enough room. We took the wait and see attitute as well and so far no reoccurances although a few scares (he's prone to fatty cysts)
