Surgery Day(Warning: Not so pleasant photo)




So this is what Thor has on the inside little flap of his ear. It started out looking like this but whenever he itched his ear(it doesnt bother him, just a usual itch) it would start to bleed so now it is covered by a scab. Anyway, we took him into the vet a few days ago and they want to take it off to make sure that it is not cancer. They said that dogs this young usually do not get cancer but they just want to play it safe. You can kind of see it on his ear in this picture. It looks like a spot in this picture but TRUST me its not! Here is the ear after the surgery! It looks pretty nasty especially with all disinfectant on it.
He is back to himself just a little sleepy. They are going to do a biopsy on the "growth" and find out what it is.

I had no idea that Thor had surgery! When did he have the surgery? When will you get the results back? Hopefully everything will be fine? He is so adorable.

He had surgery yesterday(Tuesday) and they said that we should know in about a week! He seems fine, just a rough couple of weeks for him since we figured out he had a parasite in him a few weeks ago so he has been on medication for that but we think the parasite is out of him now!
