First of all I would like to thank everyone for having this site I can go on to post. I have had this site on my favorites and read it allot, but have only posted once. Dumpster is a 11 year pit and has been diagnosed with a mast tumor next to his penis and another one on his leg. The main concern for all of us is the one on his stomach, being such an odd area and also it is the size of a mango (as my vet says). This is not his first trip down this lane. The same time last year we had a tumor removed from his back leg. At that time I really learned about the pain tolerance of these little burgers, when he chewed his stitches out 3 times, to include the drain tube the vet put in the second time. With the help of allot of you here I learned about other e-collars to use and also a trip to my office everyday for about a month. We were the only accounting office with a Pit Bull Mascot I am sure. When I found out about the 2 new tumors I wasn't going to do anything, but I can't do that to my baby and he will be scheduled for surgery next Monday. The reason I wasn't going to do anything was his age, and having to put him thru another surgery, just to have more come up later and him to go thru it again. But, as a mom who loves her little furball I will keep trying to save him until I can't anymore. I know no one can do anything for him, but it helps to post on here were others are going thru the same thing. Leslie
