Winnie is a very special girl for us here at Willow Creek Vet!  Her parents take excellent care of her doing yearly wellness exams,  geriatric blood work and urinalysis.  Due to Winnie's age, she has many benign fatty tumors, which we also keep a good eye on by doing yearly tumor mapping & measuring.  One of Winnie's fatty tumors became a little larger in size than what we felt comfortable with, with a quick surgery we removed it & sent it into the lab for diagnostic testing.   Luckily, the tumor came back as a benign lipoma (fatty tumor), causing no problems in her future health!
