🐾 Toothy Tails: Vet Dental Spotlight 🐾
Bruno was seen by Dr. Liz due to having an oral plasmacytoma that had been biopsied by his primary veterinarian. Oral plasmacytomas are uncommon tumors.
There is no radiation or chemotherapy needed after the removal of a plasmacytoma because they are benign. It is important to monitor for regrowth even if clean margins are obtained. Dr. Liz was able to completely excise the mass during Bruno's procedure! The mass was attached to the gingiva of the central incisors. These teeth, along with the 2nd incisor on the right were extracted to obtain clean bony and soft tissue margins.
Bruno’s human is a veterinary technician and reports that Bruno is doing great at home! 🌟
