While Barry and I were doing the weekly ear inspection, I noticed a very small growth just under Nicholas' right ear. Nicholas is a white Meezer/Oriental mix that joined our house in 1997 at the age of 8 months. He will be 10 in July. And had spent years lounging in the sun!! I just shave the area, the growth is pink, has a base, and is about 1/8 inch in length. Will be calling the vet shortly for an appointment. Is there anyone out there that has had experience with something like this!!! Thanks! Sandra
