BATON ROUGE – LSU's live tiger mascot, Mike VI, was anesthetized and taken to the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine on Monday, Oct. 3, for a CT (computed tomography) scan to check the status of the tumor in his head. The CT scan and a physical exam revealed that Mike's tumor has resumed growth and the cancer has spread.

LSU will hold a press conference to discuss Mike's prognosis at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine on Skip Bertman Drive in Room 1212C today at 10:30 a.m. with LSU's Attending Veterinarian David Baker, DVM, Ph.D. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to or across the street from the LSU SVM. Use the administration entrance (there is a long, covered walkway) and check in at the front desk so that you can be escorted to the room.
