The vet said all of her internal organs looked good - her lungs, kidneys, heart, brain, etc. The tumours near her right hind leg, her throat, and in her abdomen (close to but not attached to the spleen) were similar in composition. The lump in her armpit was not a mammary tumour but a reactive lymph node. The tumour by her left hind leg (the one that was necrotic and burst) was very spread out and intertwined in a lot of tissue, including her leg muscle. There were a lot of pockets of pus in the leg muscle (because of the tumour) and that's why it was partially paralyzed. (The second part of that I'm paraphrasing - I understood that the infection ate away at the muscle and caused it to atrophy/waste away, which I concluded caused the paralysis.) That makes a lot of sense, she did not seem to have typical HED. There was no signs of a pituitary gland tumour, although the entire brain is being sent for more testing to the University of Georgia (I though it was going to be the faculty here but she wants U of G because they are the best with exotics) just to make sure and to see if there's evidence of a stroke. I'm still curious as to whether or not it was a stroke in January.
