Does anyone have experience with Mast Cell Tumors?
Today Soames, our 6 year old red Dobe, was diagnosed, via fine needle aspiration, with a 12mm Mast Cell Tumor on his right buttock. To prevent a potential anaphylaxis reaction, he was given Benadryl (IV), and will continue with 25mg po (twice a day) until Monday when he is scheduled for a tumor excision. I know his prognosis will be determined once the tumor is graded.
In the meantime, we are naturally worried; especially so, as we lost Sasha, our 4.5 year old, on February 1st.
