Advice for my puppy PLEASE!

Question
Hello I have a 10 moth old boxer who has recently not been feeling well. So Saturday morning we took her to the doctor (she had lump on her leg). As soon as they looked at it the doctor said it was a tumor and he thinks it 99% cancerous. Sunday morning it was removed and the surgeon said hes almost certain he got the whole tumor and it wont come back. My question is how will they know by a biopsy if the doctor removed the whole tumor/ Will it come back? Is that what was causing her to be sick and limp? Thank You for your time sorry its so long :)

Answer
Hi Jenn,


Sorry to hear your girl is ill.

They won't know by a biopsy if they got the entire tumor.  Yes, it may come back.  Most veterinary surgeons are skilled enough, however, that if he said he got it, he probably got it.  Just keep an eye on that area, specifically, for any changes.

If she was favoring that leg, yes, that could have been the cause of a limp.  You don't say what type of 'sick' she was...those concerns, then, should be brought to your veterinarian as he's familiar with her case.
