About a month ago I noticed a lump on Ramone. It was small and looked just like the cyst on Em's back so I just kept an eye on it. Then a couple weeks ago it changed and got pretty big and hard. So last week I took him into the vet to have it looked at. We did a cytology on it to see what it could be. The vet said it was a funky looking lump. The cytology came back showing spindle cells. She said that spindle cells can be caused by certain kinds of tumors and said we need to get it off of him. So I just got back from dropping him off at the vet. They are hoping to remove the lump fully, but if they can't they will at least get a good sized sample to send away. They may not be able to get it all because of it's location. Its on his back at the base of his stubby, probably the only place on his whole body where he doesn't have a ton of loose skin.
They will call me when he is out of surgery and I can go pick him up.
