    I have been counting the days as well. I do hope the Vet can give you
    some good news on Raven.

    Just got back from the vet. He said it is either an epulis (benign oral tumor) or a fibrosarcoma (cancerous). She is going in tomorrow to have it removed and it will be sent to pathology. Please keep her in your thoughts .

    I pray its the epulis. I know how hard this must be for you. Both you and Raven are in my thoughts and prayers. {{{HUGS}}}

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    I will keep you both in my prayers. Did the Vet offer any personal opinions?

    Chances are greatest that it is the epulis and he said it is in a common location for an epulis but of course there is always the chance that it isn't. Fibrosarcomas and epulides can look pretty much identical in appearance. His first words on seeing it were, "That needs to come out." So I set it up right away. I will update as well tomorrow..

    Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It is very scary for me, and hard to keep my anxiety down.

    I do know what you mean. We are never comfortable until you hear an
    all clear from the Vet. Will keep you both in our thoughts and prayers.

    Jess, I'm sure it will be all fine, she's young and strong! Keep your spirits up, so she will keep hers up, too!
