Meet Tyga! This sweet and strong Pit Bull Terrier came to us with a concerning mass on his leg. After testing, we confirmed it was a mast cell tumor (MCT), one of the most common and often aggressive types of skin cancer in dogs. To give Tyga the best chance at a healthy future, Dr. Lee performed a surgical removal, carefully excising the tumor along with a margin of tissue to help prevent recurrence.
We’re wishing Tyga a smooth recovery and lots of love along the way!
