Please pray for our girl, Nala...

Yesterday, I found a lump on her inner right rear leg where a skin tag used to be. This time it was about 2 to 3inches in length and about 1inch wide now.
I couldn't wait till I could call the vet's office this morning at 7:30am.
Our appointment was at 2pm and its a mast cell tumor that will be removed surgically on Friday morning and sent out for a biopsy to see if its a stage 1, 2,3 or 4.
I know she is 12 and half, but she has never had any real issues besides her petite seizures that are stress related.
She is the leader of our pack.
It's so hard to see them get old and it seems to be hitting our pack all at once.
 
And a brief update on Timber from our vet.  She did get a response from another vet about his kidney condition and the other vet feels that's what it is, his kidneys.
Our vet is still awaiting results from the urine sample at Cornell.
She is leaning towards a diet change and med that is actually used for dogs with heart conditions, but vets are now using it for kidney conditions to help take the stress of the kidneys.
 
So, Boo's birthday is on Friday, but since big sister, Nala has to go in for surgery we will be moving it up a day, so Nala can enjoy the party too!
