My previous dog to Pepa (Coco) had those morph into Mast Cell Tumors and had 3 surgeries to remove them, but they just spread more aggressively after that. So do have your vet keep an eye on those. Pepa has one, but I've decided that after what Coco went through the surgeries, I won't put her through that. It's just not worth it to physically stress the dog and have her spirit suffer. At her feisty 14 yrs of age, I can't fathom putting her through that given what Coco went through, all to no avail... Good luck Gracie! Live Long and Prosper!

She will be in my thoughts. It is always so scary when we are reminded that they are not invincible. :( poor Gracie. She will be in my thoughts.
