Sulatna update

We received the histology report yesterday and Sulatna's bandages were removed.
The tumor is malignant and is called a peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Good things are that it is slow growing and that it was outside the abdominal wall. Not so good, is that not all could be removed and that this type of tumor does usually regrow.

This is a link to info on this type of tumor in dogs:http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/72219.htm

Another good thing is how many walks we get with her under the moon, on the starry, snowy trails and she enjoys every walk. She wants to run, but is restrained for 21 days. She does not like the E collar that is necessary to keep her from licking the incision . I have ordered a new type of safety collar that allows better vision, more freedom, etc.
