Before I start, I'm not looking for the "if you can't pay for medical expenses, you shouldn't have a dog" type of responses. This is just information I felt like sharing and was concerned about.

My brother found a lump on Kaedyn's neck. It's roughly 1-1.5 inches wide? It feels like it moves easily but it's hard to tell since it's on skin that easily moves around.

My mom is being the biggest a-hole. I asked if we could take him to the vet to see what's wrong. NOPE! She says it's nothing because obviously, she knows just as much as the vet right? She also said "who cares, he's getting old anyways". Words can not describe how much rage I feel right now. She has never said anything like that.

The two boys had a fight a week or two ago. He got two tiny bites from Kai. They punctured the skin but weren't deep so I wasn't too concerned. The lump is just in between the two bites. The bite marks seem to be healing really nicely though.. they're pretty much just dried blood now.

I guess it's possible it's a fatty tumor, he's starting to get older. I don't think it is though cause no one has noticed til now. It must be fairly new.

I'm just sooo angry with my mom. She was able to cough up 50 dollars for a useless chair accessory today but she can't pay $40 for a vet check? I guess I'll have to use my (tiny) upcoming paycheque that I was going to put towards my post-secondary program..

Please pray that it's nothing too bad. I can't get his check up until next month (unless I can dig up some money). My poor baby.
