Death of Mini Me

Question: How do you know when you should remove your dog's tumor?
Answer: When you name it and it weighs as much as your newborn.

After three years (2 softball sized years and one increasing from softball to Pomeranian), we finally bit the bullet and had Oscar's tumor removed. He is doing great and I am really pleased with the results. He looks especially good since the hair is coming back. We are grateful that he made it through okay, considering his age and the extent of the tumor, but also a lot less embarrassed to take him out in public.

Please be warned that at least one of these shots is gross.

If you look closely at this shot, you can see that the tumor was starting grow it's own tumor. It's that little thing that looks like an outtie belly button.
Brand new dog. I guess it is safe to assume that the tumor was not responsible for his laziness.
