Growth Removal 9/17


The larger of the 5 surgeries for today were one growth and one tumor. The pictures shown above show the removal of the growth from the cat. It was located on the middle of the neck on the dermis of the skin. By running a hand over the cat's back, the hard lump of the growth could be felt prominently protruding from the skin. Once the skin was sliced open, the tissue which was connected to the growth was separated and the growth removed. The picture at the very top is the growth, which was about the size of a grape. The type of growth it was was unknown because it had to be sent to the lab for analysis.
