were a couple of clumps of fast dividing cells which could indicate cancer or just healing tissue. Of concern was that there were a lot of "dark" cells in the mix - dark suggesting that they were pigmented which goes back to melanin - which suggests melanoma. There was a wide area of the dark cells ringing right where the original tumor was which suggests a lot and the suggestion isn't good.
He put her on a round of antibiotics for the infection but thinks she needs to go back to the oncologist. He is calling the oncologist on Monday to discuss and we'll take it from there.
What can I say? We'll take it a day at a time.

Poor Jezabel. I'm praying it's just an infection.
Jezabel is such a lucky dog that you are keeping such a close eye on her. Let's hope that a round of Rx will help her out.
Cheers!

We'll just start praying even harder, won't we?

Well that's not what I was hoping to hear. Poor girl. I'm praying that things clear up soon.
The good news, as always, is that she doesn't know she has a problem. Her poor nose sure has been sore. Maybe this will make her feel better on that front.
I am so sorry, Penny. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

i'm hoping for a simple infection...crossing my fingers!
I'm so sorry to hear about Jezebel, I pray it's only an infection.
Jezabel is loved and so well cared for...that's what she knows. Isn't that what we want for all our fur-babies...for them to know they are loved and pampered?!
Of course we will pray for the best possible outcome...but whatever happens..she knows she's loved and has a GREAT life!! She's probably thinking she's extra special since she's getting all this extra attention!! Bless her furry little heart!!
