There's that handsome boy :D I hope all goes well on Monday - that you both have fun, first & foremost! Scout & Chase both look so happy .

otherwise known as a Fine Needle Aspiration ;)

Dear old boy - what a treasure, and how wonderful that he got to have his last time with you . I'm sure his grin will live on . Run free now fella

hi Gosh - I remember when your 'puppy' WAS a puppy - how time flies!! My Mitchell was COVERED in lipomas by the time he was an old boy- he had been on long-term steroids, and I had been told to expect something like this ..I didn't bother with vet checks anymore, as the others said - by feel I could tell what they were ( I had worked with dogs, and at a vets for years , too) , and just let them be - but he felt like his his skin was stuffed with M&M's, & some larger ones . As they din't impair his mobility or anything, we just left them there ...& he was just Old Lumpy! I hope you can find a vet who can carry out the procedure to satisfy you at a much cheaper price !

LMO - glad you have repairs nearly finished, and Mezza almost sorted as well! What a busy and stressful time !

Didn't he grow into a handsome boy ? I love the one with his chin on the ground Thanks for the update!

Simon is a handsome man!

Eye removal removes the PAIN . Really . The vet I worked for did quite a few - and it was amazing just how well dogs coped, and how much happier they seemed to feel without that ugly sore eye ! ... . And , as long as her nose works well, and she is 'with it' , being severely vision-impaired is not the worst thing . She can find things by scent Shecan wear a "halo" to help , too

Poor old girl perhaps ask the vet for alternative treatment if it is too distressing ... ? Ulcers can take a long time to treat , too. have you tried offering her the BEST treat at the same time ? Like have the treat there as you put in the drops ..and let her eat it immediately ..roast chicken, or some smelly fish ...something very different she can't resist ! That might help a bit

Ho,. Ho,. Ho Happy Season's Greetings & all that . yes, I guess it's "that" time of the years again At least now you have a good plan which will help. Hoping the Wet brings lots of green, and not much itch!

Love it

Oh, Jules- how lovely ! She looks beautiful - and will be a lively addition to your little family.! Welcome, Stephie!

Hello, Dublin!!

I copied/pasted this highlighted bit into the address bar to get the image - then copied/pasted that into this reply There's probably an easier way. ... @Loving my Oldies

Go, gorgeous boy That eyebrow will take you far LOL

Hi If she's licking - there could be pain there from stretching or fluid buildup ... sorry I can't be of more help. If she had a complete ovario-hysterectomy it should not be a false pregnacy ...weird

How old is your dog ? They could just be pigment spots/'age spots' ..or if a puppy, just part of the normal colouration pattern .A vet is the only person who can give you an answer and treatment options , as we are not vets, and can not see your little dog

fair concern, too..

Oh, @sandgrubber R I P Bonza Girl - run free now ... Not a good day for you , SG , but the "right" day. Take care now , be kind to you .

Condolences @Powerlegs

Fantastic! Good Work, Sooty!

WE currently have a senior, old Wags - around 15 ..and he can STILL boss the younger dogs around , although if he lifts his leg wrong he falls over ....he's not yet ready , even though he's deaf and spends half the night barking at "things" ..... he can spot a bitch in season at a distance and still do a prance ...he's not yet ready , although he has no teeth ... dear old Wags .. he will go before he becomes too "old" ...

Same here...
