We had Monty to the vet to day for his check-up and shots. The vet noticed he has a growth behind his left front canine. I had not noticed it. For now we are just to keep an eye on it but she did mention it could be a melanoma - only way to know is to biopsy it. At his age (10 yesterday) that is frequently seen I guess. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. Tish **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.
