Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / May 2006L Boy - surgery tomorrow
L Boy is having the TECA tomorrow. The CT Scan doesn't show it spreading, so the surgeon is hopeful that he'll get it all and radiation won't be needed. He said he'd send the whole ear canal off to be biopsied. His only concern seemed to be the retropharyngeal lymph nodes being prominent - left = 4.66mm, right = 6.8mm, and heterogenous, bilaterally. He said that wouldn't affect the surgery. Does that mean L Boy has swollen glands? Kate, feeling hopeful Good luck!!! I will keep L Boy in my thoughts. Steve Good luck to L Boy. Hope all goes well.

OTOH, some animals have bigger lymph nodes than others. buglady take out the dog before replying |
