Peri anal gland adenoma diagnosed for Woofie
« on: August 06, 2011, 05:07:17 PM »
After 24 hours trying to get an answer out of the Vets, she finally just rang back with the diagnosis that Woofie has a Peri-anal gland adenoma.  She indicated that it was cancerous but after asking her straight twice I have still come away unsure.  She said it would have been unlikely to have spread and by removing the adenoma with a good margin he would make a full recovery. My usual vet will be ringing me back on Monday to discuss booking Woofalump in for the operation.

I have more questions than answers at the moment as because Woofie is castrated I thought it was very unlikely for him to have this type of lump.

Not looking forward to booking him in for an operaton as he is so fit and well. I hate to put him through the anaesthetic and cause him pain when he is so well  :'(

I am going to write down questions to ask the Vet when I speak to him on Monday.

 :bigarmhug:'s Lisa, I can imagine how worried you must be....  Really hope your normal vet can give you the answers you need.
Understand you not wanting to put him through the pain of the op - but on the flipside, he is SO fit and healthy that has to stand him in great stead for a good recovery after the op...
Gentle squidges for your boy  :luv: :luv: :luv:  try not to worry too much over the weekend... easier said than done I know.

Yep I agree, he unfortunately needs to have the op but because he is so generally fit and well he will bounce back to his old self quickly then you can put this behind you and get on with enjoying life ;)

masses of caring hugs from us Lisa  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:  sorry the news was not so good  :'(
but as others say he is so well & strong at the mo, the OP won't be as risky as if he where really ill  ;)
Hope you get the answers to your questions on Monday & a very good idea to write them down as you think of them

lots of big kisses for Woofie, from me & the girls  :-* :-*

I'm so sorry Lisa & sorry that the vet messed you about in telling you the results. I'm sure once you've spoken to your regular vets on Monday, things will seem clearer & Woofie will soon be on the mend  :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:
