Hi Emma Thank you for sharing that. My previous lab was four when he had a toe removed with a tumour. Fortunately it was benign and caused him no...
I can’t really offer any advice but it sounds pretty miserable for her. When the initial lump was removed was it tested? My lab has Mast Cell...
Great to hear it all went went.They are so resilient it never ceases to amaze me. It was the thought of Toby having his ear removed that was far...
