Oscar...

Well - it's not good news. They found a tumor on Oscar's throat and the vet thinks it's a melanoma. It grew rapidly from the last time he was in (which was just a week). They removed most of it and are sending it off for testing but she said I need to go ahead and prepare myself. They didn't have to remove as many teeth as she thought but he will be in a lot of pain when he gets home from the tumor removal so he will be on some high pain meds. Anyway - it's horrible news. I figured I would be upset w/ bad news but I've been a wreck at work today.
