Good news / Bad news

We heard from the vet today. The tumorous tissue that was removed from Luke's mouth and sent off for a biopsy revealed that the tumor was benign. This is essentially good news, however we will still need to monitor this area. If the tumor should begin to grow, it may be necessary to operate and remove a portion of Luke's tongue. According to our vet, this type of surgery on the tongue is particularly difficult. He would refer us to an out of town specialist.

Luke is doing well and slowly regaining his appetite. I hope this ordeal is over for him.
