Unfortunatley, I don't know. But I may be able to find out when the written report goes to our president.

A hemangiosarcoma is basically a cancer of the lining of the blood vessels, so it is not a solid tumour like Blizzard has.

My thoughts are with you and Blizzard

I'm so sorry to hear it is cancer. I'll keep sweet Blizzard in my prayers.

The one thing I do know about Blizzard's tumor is that it was SOLID!
Prior to its removal the vet tried to aspirate (I believe that would be the correct term) and no liquid came out of it.

She sure is doing well now, though.

Thank God I SAW the tumor!
