We just got home, and no horrible bad news I was really stressed out at trying to get both dog and baby into the vets office 'cause Mark had an emergency call 3 hours away and couldn't go. *sigh* But we made it in the office in one piece and left in one piece

The vet isn't worried at all about the lump near his ear...she thinks it looks "normal" and we'll just keep an eye on it.

She said she is a tad more worried about the lump near his elbow, and we are gonna do a run of antibiotics, and check back after that to make sure it heals. If it doesn't heal over within 2 months, then we will have it removed and biopsied to make sure it isn't malignant.

So thanks for the good thoughts, and I'll keep ya posted!! meanwhile send us some healing vibes!
