So brushing out Nova and found a lump. Of course has to be in the worst place. Inside hind leg just above the knee. Not large however just know as soon as he starts running in the wild going to be a problem. Trying to get him in for surgery ASAP only for the reason to give him as much healing time before work starts the 25th of Sept.
Oh that is too bad. Very sorry. Hope it all works out well.
that never a good sign, hope it nothing to serious.
Hopefully nothing serious. My cocker is my lumpy dog. He seems to have one turn up somewhere every other year lol. Never anything serious, usually end up being cysts or lipomas. Some dogs are just prone to that stuff.
My 12 year old French Brittany Spaniel has lots of lumps. Must be a Spaniel thing.
Wow,that sux. Good luck with it Fin. Keep us posted.Quote:

Its never about the bird, thats the least of my concerns. To leave the lump where it is is just asking for problems later. Having to side line the dog while his mom has all the fun....well that's a talk I rather not have with him.Quote:

Not to concern what it is, just where it is.Quote:

Those that can't relate figure your star player of your favorite team finds out they have an issue right before training camp what would be your reaction? Really don't want this thread to get personal so just let it be.Quote:

Never like to see these threads.
Our dogs are like family and when they are ill it really hits hard.. :(
My chocolate lab had bout of diarrhea last Friday. I took the day off to be with her. No way I was going to leave her when she looked at me for help...
Don't distress too much. Having it looked after more to minimize risk of traumatic injury than anything else. If he was more elegant like a typical setter won't worry as much but he's more of a bulldozer than a ballet dancer when it come to the uplands. Hope you pup is feeling better this summer with the heat and wet weather making for alot of bad puddles that dogs just can't resist from drinking fromQuote:

So Nova is sleeping off the anesthesia and all is well. Handed him off to me wearing a cone of shame and all I could think was "great always had a good nose now they added radar". They removed a cyst so should heal without incidence. 10-14 days recovery than try to get him (and me) fit for the fall.
Best of luck for a speedy and complete recovery.
Glad to hear it went well!
