Lumps on dogs - update! PHEW! :-)
« on: June 11, 2014, 09:41:49 pm »
As you probably all know, I have four Brittanys, one of whom is my dog-in-a-lifetime, Allez

He is a character, loves everyone, has done all I could wish for in the show ring and on shoots. His sons and grandsons are exact replicas of him.

On Monday night I found a lump on his side, we saw our vet today, and on Friday he will have an operation to remove it and investigate.

Please think of him and keep, everything crossed that it it isn't what I think it might be.

Hope it all turns out well for both of you, Doganjo.  :fc:

Had lots of oldies over the years and a lot of the time it wasn't the worst. I dreaded it too so know how you are feeling.  :fc: :hug:

Sending good wishes for Allez.
Most lumps are nothing to worry about and older dogs often get benign fatty lumps   :fc:
Hope all goes well with the op. Will be thinking of you both  :hug:

my first dog had lumps too when she was old but the vet was never worried. im sure hers were fatty deposits but they were very obvious in that you could grasp them.

fingers crossed for you  :fc: :hug:

He's not old, he's only 8, Brittanys are known to live to around 16/17

It has grown a lot since Monday night.

Keeping everything crossed for you.  Hopefully it's just a harmless fluid filled lump.  That's young for a Brittany and so sincere wishes that he has many, many, many more happy years with you.  I currently also have my own 8 year old dog of a lifetime and so know exactly how you feel about your boy.   :hug:

operation done all removed, but Ian not totally happy. Most of it was discreet but one bit looked different so sample off to lab.  Seeing him later for more details
