BTW, the mutt has a lump almost the size of a tennis ball on her chest. It doesn't bother her, and I'm told that it is harmless. Any idea what that might be? It's taken about 5 years to get to this size.
BTW: my wife's cousin is a vet and sees the mutt quite often, so I think he'd say if there is a serious problem.
Who can say with out seeing it, or a biopsy? If you've been told its harmless Is that a vets opinion? Going to be better than our guesses:D0 -
Why do small children decide that Sunday should be the earliest-rising day of the week?
Isaac started his (and therefore, my) day at 6.45am, which is an indecent time of any day, but particularly a Day of Rest. As OH was out last night, I left him to have a lie-in, and he's just got up now. Isaac and I have been reading from an encyclopedia of paleontology for over an hour - never mind his reading skills, it challenges mine!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

The joy of having 2 is that they look after each other in the mornings.
MIL's BP is coming down fast. About 140/80 now. She's damaged her heart a little, probably by delaying going to hospital. She's got an MRI on her head tomorrow as she's suddenly started getting migraines.
We had lemon and chilli prawns for dinner tonight with rice and frozen peas. Cheap and delicious. I made extra to take to work tomorrow. Yum!0 -
My experience of two was double the noise, double the mess and double the trouble!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
Google suggests a lipoma, benign fatty tumor?
Don't know really, but tennis ball size sounds big to me.
Cassie, a staffie further down the road here, has several of them on her belly, but the biggest are about cherry sized.
Thank you. Lipoma sounds vaguely familiar. Perhaps that was mentioned to me some time ago. I looked up some pictures of dog lipomas on the www, and it does look just like that. It's fairly unsightly, but I can't see any reason to put the mutt through the trauma of getting it excised just because we don't like the look of it.
As I said, cousin vet has definitely looked at it, but I don't think he's done any exploratory work.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Yes, it's cousin vet's opinion that it's harmless. I just wondered what it is called. I can't see any mileage in doing a biopsy just to confirm that it's harmless, as the dog's had it for 5 years, which pretty much proves that it's harmless.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

I was just googling, GDB, and as the ever so wise lostinrates says, it's just a guess and should always be checked out by a vet.0 -
Eater holidays on the Jurassic coast? Fossil hunting...?neverdespairgirl wrote: »Why do small children decide that Sunday should be the earliest-rising day of the week?

The recent storms have uncovered loads more fossils - although you do have to be careful as the cliffs are unstable and where they are overhanging have been crashing down. A girl was killed/crushed last year as she walked past on her holiday with her bf.0 -

That's good, but my inner skeptic says that when she gets out of hospital it's going right back up into the stratosphere again. Hope I'm wrong, though.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

My mother reckons small children and dogs have that in common - two are less work than one (-:

Isaac's very keen on doing exactly that - except that we are thinking summer half-term, rather than Easter. OH and Isaac are going to Israel for Passover, and I'll be too heavily pregnant to do much fossil hunting during the rest of the holidays, I think.
We're off out, to meet OH's younger brother and celebrate his birthday - it's sunny! Actual sunshine!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
