My 8yr old 22lb Frenchie, Bubba was just diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on his right leg on Tuesday. His vet suggested removing as much as they can, not a lot of skin to close up the incision.

Good Monday morning, all! I was thinking this morning...why not bring it to the group because I am sure I'm not the only one. I've posted about my kitty Bella who has kidney dis-ease since I joined HA! last month. This morning I was thinking about not just taking what one vet says as gospel...

Good afternoon! I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! I am still exploring modalities to support Bella's kidney issues and her BEAM! I recently came across some services offered at a local holistic vet office near me that I have zero experience with: biopuncture and aquapuncture...
