Some sad news to report. We took Spunt to the vet to have some masses on his body looked at. He had one on each shoulder, a tiny one on his head and one on his penis that was getting larger and just didn't look right. The mass on his penis turned out to be cancerous. The good news about it is that it is not a metastatic type of cancer. We decided to have surgery performed on him to have the cancerous and non-cancerous lumps removed. At the same time, he also got a much needed dental cleaning. The report after the surgery was not very promising. His vet told us she believes she was unable to remove all of the cancerous tissue and one of the other lumps on his body looked to be cancerous also. We will know for sure when we get the results from the biopsy back. We are praying that Spunt is able to make a full recovery. He is too young to have to deal with this!
