NoJoMo Day 20

Prognosis for Larry is marginally better than we originally thought. Blood work showed a bladder infection, but that’s it. However they did find a new tumor that they did a fine needle aspirate on, and took three samples of. Although there were no cancer cells, they were blood tinged, which the vet said that a vascular tumor and a fast growing one at that can still indicate a malignancy. We’re going to treat the infection and see if that improves his overall health. If it fails, then we know it’s 99% likely he has cancer. If it works, he’s one lucky old dog.
