peepinmofo Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Update: The vet just called, and said its pretty rare what she has. Its called chondroma rodens. Apparently it starts out benign and usually doesnt amount to anything other than possibly regrowing. However, it is possible that it could matastisize in the lungs, so were going to have xrays taken to make sure it hasnt done so. That happens next week. She seems like the dog she has always been, so for now, Im happy with the news. Ill update again after the xrays. Keep those good vibes coming!

Rovers Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Peep, I have always loved my mutts as much as my loved peoples. They can be a pain in the butt, especially boxers, but they are lovable and innocent, and love us back unconditionally. Sounds like it went well, hope the lung tests come back negative. Is the pooch wearing one of those collars? My poor long lost pal Casey had to wear one. I'd be behind him and call him, and he'd go off in the wrong direction... all sound came in from the front. Then he'd bang into doorways... I felt sorry for him, but it was funny at the same time. Dogs are what I always called a little piece of God. They love us unconditionally. They are gifts, even if they don't live as long as we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god because she is already a little loose in the brain as is. That would make her so much worse! haha If she did have one on, I definitely would have to take videos and share because I know they would be priceless!

peepinmofo Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 For those that care to read, this is the best description I have found... C.'Chondroma rodens' A special type of tumour with fibrocartilaginous differentiation was first named ''chondroma rodens " (Jacobson) and later the " cartilaginous counterpart of fibromatosis " (Liu & Dorfman). This tumour is characterized by an aggressive growth. It has a lobulated structure, with islands of partly calcified and ossified neoplastic cartilage surrounded by cellular strands of spindle cells. This tumour, which is nearly always found in the cranium, could be primarily a soft tissue tumour arising, for example, in aponeuroses secondarily invading the underlying bone. More cases of this interesting tumour should be studied in order to learn more about its biological behaviour and structural variations. Odd that it is "nearly always found in the cranium", but my dogs was on her back leg near her butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say dogs are a lot like their owners. In this case it seems to be true. $hit for brains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
