OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

Hello community and thank you for reading this post:
1 yo (estimate) dear Netherland dwarf/hotot who knows mix) rescued intact boy has a sarcoma on his left shoulder. What?! How could this happen?
Do you have experience with this? What do you think about surgery? Do I have other options besides these three presented by the vet:
1. EKG and surgery. Make sure he’s a candidate, then hope to get out all the cancerous tissue while it’s still relatively small. Neuter at the same time. Then he could have a little friend after all this is behind us!
2. Operate without EKG and hope his heart can withstand the anesthesia.
3. Wait it out and give him a beautiful 8-10 months of life.
I just don’t understand how this is happening. What are the chances this little guy (he’s lost a pound since I discovered the tumor and is back down to 3 pounds) could have BOTH a heart murmur and a rare cancer?!
Thank you for offering insight. I know these are my choices to make but it would be good to hear how others have fared or what advice you have. I posted about him before and he’s delicate, what with the heart murmur. But he is so loved and tenacious, I bet he would pull through ok.
Photo of him tonight, cheering me up by honoring me with a bunny bum shot.
