About 15 months ago our dog developed a mast cell tumor on her leg, which tests on  everything else came back clean. At our vet's suggestion we went with a stelfonta injection to treat it since it was the least invasive treatment since our dog already had surgery on her leg once to repair an ACL tear. It worked like we expected and a few weeks later she was recovering fine. Fast forward to about a month ago and we noticed a lump had started to form on the exact same spot. A biopsy showed more mast cell tumor cells, along with some that looked a bit different to our vet so she suggested we take her to a vet with an oncologist to see what they thought. 2 weeks pass while we wonder what the other cells could be, the clinic we were referred to had us see the surgery team since oncology would take about a month longer to see. They ran a bunch more tests, including collecting tissue samples from her spleen and kidney along with an ultrasound which all came back clean for cancers (though the ultrasound showed she was developing kidney stones which they're optimistic a prescription diet will take care of). End result was them recommending we have them remove the tumor, along with some additional tissue beneath it for further testing. We bring her in first thing tomorrow morning for that.So yeah... I emphathize and hope things work out for the best for your family. It's a crappy situation to go through.</blockquote>
