Thanks for the update and the great pic of your very handsome boy. Looks like he did very well.

Please let us know what the pathologist says when you get the report.

I will let you know the results. I'm guessing I won't find out until his next visit to the vet in two weeks.

Keep us posted.
He's a handsome fella.

Thanks, Brandi.  He is becoming a handsome dog. I took these pictures of him today.

Wow! He has super awesome pigmentation.

Thanks!  That is a compliment to his breeder and we have sent him updates.  We love his colors.

The vet just called me with pathology results.  It was a histiocytoma which is benign.  Great news!  The link below has information on this type of tumor.  Thanks for the thoughts and kind words!

Thanks for the update, that is good news.

Those suckers can blow up to a huge size very quickly (I saw a client's dog have one go from pea sized to quarter sized in a week), so it's a good thing you had it taken off right away. Even though it was benign, a big tumor would have left him with a scalped nose and a skin graft.

It's always nice to see someone get right on top of something like this and fix it right away instead of dithering around for ages. Your dog is lucky to have you.

 

Thanks, JonRob!
