Just when you think all is well….

I have just been thoroughly enjoying Desi’s good health every day of late. However when I was petting him yesterday, my fingers felt a soft lump or swelling on his left side. I could feel my heart stop, then my fingers felt the lump again, it was no mistake. I tried to keep myself calm, but at his age, I know anything is possible.

I made an appt. with my vet for Tues. He will do an exam and probably a needle aspiration to look at the cells inside the lump. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is a lipoma or fatty tumor, very common in older dogs and especially with Bearded Collies. I will post late Tues. on what I find out. Please send good thoughts and white light to my Desi. I would really appreciate it.
