That's what my reading suggests as well. The vet didn't specifically say that it was benign--just that the report showed he got it all. I'll ask for a copy of the report when I take Gats in to have his stitches removed.

Thanks to all for your prayers for Gatsby boy. He's been quite the trooper through his recent health issues. He still needs to have some dental work done, poor guy, but the vet said that his teeth actually don't look as bad now as they did before his urinary tract problems began. So we're going to wait a little while before subjecting him to more anesthesia.
