Oh, we are are praying that everything turns out OK for him and he's back in play group very soon.  What's his name, Anne??

His name is Wilson and he's a chocolate Lab.

Sending lots of healing and strong vibes to Wilson, as well as to his family and friends, who are worried about him. 

Wilson did well in surgery and is recovering, but there was not enough skin to close had they removed the whole tumor, so it was not a complete excision.  Everyone is awaiting the pathology report, as the vet has indicated that there is a possibility that the tumor is still benign.  The presence of mast cells alone in an aspirate does not always mean *bad*.  However, long road ahead if the report is not good.  Please continue to hold this special dog in your prayers.  He really is a once in a lifetime great boy. 

thanks for the update.  Sending Wilson every good vibe I've got!

Mast cells are NORMAL.  They are histamine cells ... the big deal is the 'age' of them.  That's how mast cell cancer is 'graded' .. but mast cells are normal and all dogs (and humans too) have them.  But at grade 1 they are normal healthy cells. 

    Sending healing vibes for Wilson; hope the prognosis will be excellent.

 Another update --- Wilson's tumor was Grade 2, so he will need further treatment.  We are very worried, and hope you will all add to our prayers for Wilson's health and to uplift his mom, who is feeling very stressed.  She's only 29, but this is probably her dog of a lifetime.  When I tell you that dogs like this don't come along very often, I'm not kidding - and you all know I see a lotta dogs.  He is so special to all of us, I can't believe this is happening. 

Sending continued healing vibes to Wilson and comforting vibes to his Mom.  I'm sure she's sick with worry about her baby.
