Gunner the Mastiff

For today’s blog post, we wanted to share an interesting surgery case we saw recently. The following is from our Dr. Majeska; Gunnar presented to us with a large swelling in his groin that had been recently producing discharge, and he had been licking at it quite often. Given the location of the mass — and the fact that Gunnar is an older, intact male with only one descended testicle — the assumption was made that this mass was a tumor associated with his retained testicle. The infection was treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. We then saw him for a follow-up appointment to make sure he was healing from the infection — and then surgery, to remove the mass and perform a neuter. T
