Even though it was cold, and very windy, and we even had some snow this morning, we still had about 25-30 trick-or-treaters this year. We even had a few dogs, in costumes too! We have them pumpkin treats from Trader Joe's.

Oh no, I am so so sorry. You did everything you could for her. Rest in peace, sweet girl.

Vet called with the biopsy report. The mammary mass was benign, thank goodness. The shoulder mass was a Grade 2 (intermediate) mast cell tumor but he got good margins. He didn't say what the mitotic index was, so I'll have to stop by their office tomorrow to get a copy of the report. Grade 2 is not great, but it's not the worst either.

Oh no, poor Princess. When Otis was going through lots of weird hair loss and weight loss and not wanting to eat, even fainting once, etcetera, our vet was convinced it was atypical Addison's. But we've done tons of testing over the years and everything has always been normal. We think he has some kind of hormonal/gland thing that flares up every so often. I'm so sorry that Princess is going through this. I hope she continues to improve.

Ugh, that is awful! Sounds like you'll need to be extra vigilant.

Decided to update this thread rather than starting a new one. I took Dharma to the vet tonight to get a lump checked and it is a mast cell tumor. So, she'll be having surgery on Thursday to get it removed. So far it's the only new lump we've found, but the vet will check her over thoroughly before surgery and aspirate anything he's concerned about. My poor little sweet pea. I'm trying not be down, but I just hate having to put her through these surgeries. Please wish us luck. I'll be sure to post updates.

Hmmm... haven't heard of an ACL stretch. I think monitoring him over the next couple weeks sounds like a good plan, and then go from there. Glad to hear it wasn't more serious though!

Welcome to the forum! Dash is such a cutie! I recommend browsing through the Training & Behavior section of the forum for info and tips on training with the muzzle. My Lebowski has to wear a muzzle out in public because of his DA, and we've done lots of positive conditioning with him.

The first two look like cysts. Dharma gets those a lot, nothing to worry about. But the one in the third picture is concerning. Glad you're getting him checked out. Hope it's not a big deal. Let us know.

Michele, I've been traveling and I'm just now reading this. I am so so sorry. As Sugar said, I've felt so connected to Harley through the years and her strength and perseverance astounded me. You and your husband gave her so much love and your commitment to her health and happiness has inspired me so much as my own dogs have dealt with their health issues. I know there's nothing I can say to truly bring you comfort as you grieve, but please know that you're in my thoughts. (hugs)
