This morning Leah, Elizabeth, and I took Jazmin to see the vet. The main reason for our visit was for a routine check-up. It ended up being much more than that though. About a month ago while checking Jazmin for ticks Tim noticed a growth on the back side of her left leg. The growth had gotten bigger and so we had that checked out too. During our visit the vet took a sample from Jazmin's leg, checked it under a microscope, and then informed me that it was a mass cell tumor. The cells are most likely benign, but if not removed could turn into cancer and then take over her spleen, liver, and kidneys. She also informed me that Jaz is overweight, has 2 broken teeth, and yeast and bacteria in her ears. We left after paying a hefty fee for services and medications. Tim and I have decided to pay for the surgery to remove the tumor and fix her teeth. The procedures will take place next week Monday. At least her good eye pressures are normal. We love our dog way too much!

Jaz is lucky to have such a good family! I hope the surgeries are enough to get her healthy again.
