Is is hard or soft? is it movable?
You're seeing the vet tomorrow, so that is good. He/She will be able to tell you more. Don't worry yet. Zeus is pretty young, right?

Sorry to hear that the vet thinks it is a tumor (rather than soft tissue issue). Keep us informed. Hope it is 'nothing'. Hugs.

The vet said that he was concerned with the way it looked but that the tumor needed to be removed. He said it could be osteosarcoma but doubts that it's that bad because he is so young... or on the very mild side, it could be tissue damage that the bone reacted to, though he said that it wasn't all that likely either.

All in all, he thinks it might be cancerous but doesn't know for sure and that's the reason he wants to send the tumor out to the lab for analysis. I just don't even know how to feel. This could go either way and I am so scared.

Thanks for all the support and the links.

I think time and money will be well spent if you see a specialist for their opinion. I also agree with the others that what your vet is saying sounds confusing.
