Poor baby....they always look so pitiful in those things! Take care and get better, my little springer buddy!!

He's looking good.. His wound looks just like Cadeau's did So don't be too worried, only a little A little leaking is good, as all the fluids are coming out of him so he'll heal better.

Oh did the vets tell you what causes many fatty masses?

In case they didn't explain it to you (just want you to feel at ease & understand it well) its a buildup of fatty tissues. It happens when a dog (typically of an older age) bumps into things & the skin separates from the meat. The fatty tissues collect in the little pocket & keep growing as it separates the skin from the meat. Its completely harmless to the dog, unless grown in a bad area. FOr Cadeau it was about to block her butt & the blockage would have caused real issues. The vet said they never remove them unless they are causing issues as they are more then likely to come back.. so its best to wait until they are a minor issue (as in effect the dogs comfort).

I hope this info helps put you at more ease & hopefully educates others too Fatty masses only create more dog to love.. they are kinda like doggy love handles hehehe Hope you like that little joke

Thanks everyone and glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the info, Jess, although I know what fatty lumps are etc I didn't know what caused them. Very interesting.

I wasn't going to remove his cone until tomorrow just before we go to get the stitches out, but his new crate came today ....



He's a happy boy now.

Of course now I have to keep listening out for licking sounds.

Aww, happy Bobby! Is that better sweetie? I hope you get those nasty stitches out tomorrow.
