[QUOTE="Spider8ait1994, post: 2028887, member: 101939"] He just had the biopsy today and tolerated it well. Dropped off at 8am and picked him up at 5:30pm. Vet told me that he has internal and external dissolvable stitches since they had to go through muscle. They were able to take three samples which have been sent away to pathology. Was also told that the appearance of the mass was very vascular. He also had some X-rays taken free of charge so that was nice. The X-rays showed that there’s no bone involvement with this and no evidence of further masses so this one doesn’t seem like it’s spread anywhere. That said they did note some mottling in the lung region which they’re getting second opinions on and have said that it could just be bronchial changes that can be expected in older dragons. The X-rays also showed he has arthritis in the fingers of both front hands which answered the question of why those fingers have been stiff ever since he first came into my care so no gout at all. That doesn’t seem to be bothering him but if it does in the future we can see about sorting out some anti-inflammatory treatment. Post-proceedure he was given a meloxocam injection and I’ve been given some tramidol injections to give him 1 a day (or every second day if it makes him too drowsy). They expect the pathology results in about 5 days and he has a follow up appointment in 3 weeks. I’ve been informed that if the pathology comes back and it’s something viable to be excised (ie unlikely to spread etc) that is something they’d reccomend with a CT scan beforehand so they know exactly where everything is. They also said that he woke up well and was awake and looking around but he is understandably still a bit sleepy so he’s gone to bed now. I’ll make up a smoothie for him tomorrow to see if he’s up for something to eat and as always I’ll keep you updated as the situation progresses. [/QUOTE]
