Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Question
Hi, do you know much about sacroma. My Mn Schnauzer was just diagnosed with this. He is 12...He has one small other fatty tumor but this one just came on in his hind quarter area. I read about these that the little feelers are hard to take out with the tumor if you don't get it all could come back worse. Do you think the chances are good to have this taken out since they caught it so fast?

Answer
I'm sorry, but I don't know much about sarcomas. I did, however, find these sites that might be helpful to you:

Good luck with your dog!
