Remember that old G.Shep.Mix dog (Cadeau) I use to live with? Remember when she had that huge operation & they shaved her 1 side & her butt area? That was the vets removing fatty masses as 1 was about to block her bum. She was an older girl (forget the age now).. maybe 11-12ish? anyways. She wasn't overly healthy to begin with (poor care) & she had no issues recovering from the operation. If it wasn't for the one on the butt the operation wasn't needed. They caused her no pain & didn't seem to bother her at all. She still slept on her sides (they were on both sides of her chest & her butt)

So heres hoping its just a fatty mass.
