More small blood stains indicated another trip to the vet, just to check. In addition to the lesion they never removed in the first place, the one they did remove has halfway grown back. The cancer is more than aggressive. The Ridiculously Expensive Test to be Absolutely Certain what type of cancer this is has not entirely told us exactly what type of cancer this is. This vet could not read the report and has never seen one before. They're sending it to Onco Vet to read.
Just so we didn't think things were bad enough, Marshall also has a raging ear infection. This is in the good ear, and must be treated immediately with antibiotics. These are different antibiotics than the ones he finished two weeks ago.
Vet said it's a good thing that we can keep him pain-free, although she wonders what happens if things get worse in his mouth and he can't eat. We told her there was no way he would stop eating and everyone laughed.
One of our favorite vet techs looked at us, shook his head, and noted that we have taken more than our share of hits. There is nothing better than validation, especially at times like this.
This is getting to be too much.
