Last week our female red wolf #1227 had to have surgery to remove a tumor on her chest. We filmed the operation breaking it up into three segments. Read more about the operation here: http://bit.ly/yS2VP

  • So what exactly is the mass and what caused it?

  • We are not really sure what caused it. It is a common form of cancer seen in dogs (and cats maybe). The mass was a type of soft tissue sarcoma called a Hemangiopericytoma. These sarcomas are typically seen on the limbs, or more often the hock region, of dogs. However, these sarcomas are considered "low-grade", which means they rarely metastasize or spread to other parts of the body. But they do tend to reoccur locally, so there is a chance that another mass will appear on her chest again.
