First, my apologies. I should have editted out a hospital name
and I slipped.
Secondly, HOW a growth is treated most effectgively varies with
the result of a biopsy. Even if it is a malignancy there may be
options and the possible success of any of these alternatives
may be quite different depending on the form present.
When you know what is wrong you know to tackle it for the best
results for the animal.
