he's in good shape, and the tumor doesn't seems to bother him, he's ax active as
ever......it must have grown very fas, i discovered it yesterday, and i check o them
everyday, and take them up for a while, i haven't seen anything until yesterday....but
today i noticed his scrotum seems to be bigger too, does they grow too with a scent
gland tumor??
i don't know if the vet here does this kind of suregery at all, maybe i'll have to
take him to the animal hospital, but that will be very expensive , i doubt i can
afford that....but at least i'll check with my vet first....
