so we took our boxer to the vet today to have a rather large lump under her right leg checked out. they poked it a few times with a needle hoping that it was just an abscess. no such luck. doc said it's a solid mass. he was able to get a sample of cells though to do a cytology on. that should tell us if it's cancer or not. we will get those results tomorrow. i...i don't know what i will do if she has cancer. just the thought of it makes me want to start crying again. that's pretty much my number one focus from now till we get that call "keep from crying". we will see how that goes.
seriously though, i don't think our vet likes animals. or at least not dogs. he didn't love on henrietta at all and she is a VERY loveable dog. when he came in he awkwardly patted her on the head. and when he was talking about how the lump could be the big "C" he said it all very matter of factly, like it was no big deal. i guess as long as he's good at his job...
