I got Hugo’s biopsy results back this morning — it was a benign growth called a hemangioma. Such a relief! I did miss the vet’s call, and by the time I called back she was in surgery, so I haven’t been able to ask any follow-up questions yet.
From what I’ve read, these can sometimes be caused by trauma, so if I’m right that it started after he got clawed by Gizmo, that might explain it. I am feeling a little anxious because he’s still so young to be growing lumps otherwise — but fingers crossed a trauma was the start of it.
Either way, this is definitely a happy update, and in just a few more days we’ll be cone-free and back to enjoying summer!
