The Magnificent Ghost is in surgery


Today my little Ghost (75 lbs of grey and white dynamite) is at Love Pet getting the icky growth on his leg removed. While he's under, they will also give his chompers a sparkling cleaning -- I've decided not to have his broken tooth pulled, since it doesn't seem to be bothering him. And after much soul-searching, I've also given the okay to remove his extra dewclaws in the back. I know! Terrible! But they hang out to the sides and get caught in everything. I figure some pain and discomfort now is better than him tearing one off later. He has to wear the Elizabethan collar anyway for the growth removal.

The crucial thing will be the histopathology. I'm just terrified that it will turn out to be a sarcoma, like hemangioperisarcoma ...

Positive thoughts to little Ghost!
