So... Vinnie has had a small fatty lump under his arm since I got home last year. We took him to the vet early on and after taking a sample told us it was no biggie and we shouldn't worry about it unless it's bothering him.
Fast forward a few months...
The lump has been getting bigger and Vin has started limping... We also noticed a few more starting to grow...poor guy. My mom said she would take him to the vet to get it checked out. Every time I went home to visit I would remind her. Finally, last week after work I went by and took him in. The verdict? It's definitly not cancer (whew) and the boy gets to have surgery. Poor Vinnie will look like Frankenstein for Halloween (although he IS a boy- he might think it's pretty cool.) He has 2 bigger lumps and 2 smaller ones. So next Wednesday gets to go in for some "lipo-suction"... Do we all wish we could do that? I know I have some fatty lumps I would be okay with removing ;) He doesn't really act like an old dog anyway but the vet said it will make a huge difference in his energy level. He said it will make him MUCH more comfortable :) When I called my mom to tell her how much it would cost I asked her if it was alright if I just scheduled the surgery right there. Her response was "We'll it's your fault I love him like my child! It's not like I CAN'T do it. Get him in ASAP." So so so true. You would never know it from him as a puppy (a wild man) that we would fall so hard for this dog. Wish Vinnie luck!
Only 5 more days until Puppy Truck Day...!
