Salem was found as a stray and was at Madison County Pound. They called and we immediately took him to Horseshoe Lake Animal Hospital. The vets felt that the mass was probably cancer but until it was removed and biopsied we wouldn't know. He was such a happy boy and in such good spirits that we decided to have the mass removed to see what exactly it is. He really seems to have so much life left that even if it's cancer, we wanted to give him a second chance. The mass was removed and the results showed it was a cancer but one that didn't spread quickly. All the blood work indicated that there was no cancer in the blood so we were encouraged. The report said the margins of the tumor were removed during the surgery. Way to go Dr. Mollett! Salem is healing and feeling much better. He can now see out of that eye where the tumor hung over it. He does have several fatty tumors but they are nothing to be worried about. Look at him smiling!
