The Results of Fudge's Biopsy/UPDATE to Previous Discussion

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

The vet just called with the pathology report. Fudge had a Papilloma and it was benign. I was trying to write down what she was saying and feel free to correct me if I am not making much sense. She said papillomas are caused by a virus and it is not uncommon for young dogs to get them in their mouth and ears. She said it often triggers an immune response and many times left alone they will go away. She did not feel, however, that would have happened in Fudge's case. The cells around the papilloma were all normal, so she feels she got everything. The vet did say I am to continue checking Fudge's ears (oh boy) and mouth for any signs of more of these and worst case scenario, if they keep coming back, sometimes chemotherapy is needed. So, this is very good news and we are relieved and happy! Thank you to everyone for their concern.

Peri had a Papilloma when she was 6 months old.  Vet said we did the RIGHT thing bringing her in asap because it is always better safe than sorry.

 

Crossing our fingers they don't come up again. So happy it was benign!
