Angell Medical Vets Remove Dog From Tumor

Vets at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston surgically removed a 21-pound tumor from a 13-year old Labrador retriever. Dr. Michael Pavletic, Director of Surgical Services at Angell Animal Medical Center said this was the largest tumor he'd seen in 35 years as a veterinarian. The tumor was one-sixth the body weight of the canine, named Warren. WCVB has a picture of the tumor, which is both fascinating and disgusting.
