I took my dog to the vet today. He is such a good dog (Cocker Spaniel, 10 years old). The vet said that she thought the masses were benign, filled with fat. She couldn't be sure, though. She measured them and told me that I should check them periodically to see if they changed size or texture. He has a heart murmur, so she doesn't want to put him under if she can help it. So, it was good news (as you guys predicted). The bad news was that he has gingivitis. His teeth have always been really good. He's not a big chewer, but she gave me some ideas of things he might chew. And she mentioned the brushing his teeth thing (I haven't needed to since his teeth have been good). She doesn't want to really clean them because they would have to put him under...
I didn't drive on Saturday, and took it easy on Sunday. Today I'm feeling a bit better. I paid some bills and cleaned my kitchen. I feel like I'm over the hump, and it is getting better. Now I have to convince the weather to stop being so humid!
Thanks for your support.
