Oscar has a mass on his lung

Hi All,

It seems that instead of a torsion of the lung lobe as the CT scan suggested earlier, Oscar has a mass. He had it removed on Tuesday. Poor darling has a scar about 7 inches long on his left side, and we are trying to manage his pain level at this point. We are expecting to learn whether it was cancer or benign. He has been through so much, please send positive vibes for him.

Oscar is the first pug to join our family, he' s the sweetie that has helped our son through great loss and several challenges in his life. We first learned the magic of the pug breed when we met dear Oscar.

If you have any experience with this serious health issue please share.

Thanks,

Laurel

Good thoughts out to Oscar. I haven't dealt with torsion or masses in the lung, but hopefully others will have advice for you.

I don't have any experience either but I will pray for Oscar's recovery and a good pathology report.

I'm afraid it's not within my experience either. Adding my good thoughts for your sweet Oscar.

Sending our best wishes to Oscar.

Sending tremendous wishes that it's benign.

Sorry no advice, just sending well wishes that it is all going to be ok.

extra thoughts here for your team... I am sure Oscar is still ready to teach and comfort with every breath.

I'm praying that it is benign and that Oscar has a long, happy and healthy life with you.

Laurel-
I am sorry that Oscar had that news. I remember when you shared the tragedy with me one PugOWeen, and I know that Oscar has been a bright spot. Thoughts of healing and strength for Oscar and thoughts of comfort for your family.

More prayers and good thoughts for your Oscar! I hope the mass is benign and that he heals well and quickly so you can get back to normal. Big hugs to Oscar.

Sending prayers for Oscar's quick recovery & a good lab report.

Sending many many positive thoughts for sweet Oscar !

Thinking its a good sign the vet thought it was operable! Prayers from TN!
