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.

[Killearn Kitties]

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

Sorry I have not responded to this thread until now Chris. My work and home life have been a little crazy so I don't get much time on the internet any more. I had read the title and had actually thought I had responded when you first posted just to let you know you and Bob were in my thoughts and prayers. So I have been thinking about you both although I didn't get to read any more about what was going on. Bob is such a beautiful boy I am just so glad that it was fatty tumors and not something worse. I have to say though that after looking at that first picture with the tube etc, I would have been freaking out - that was really ugly! I am so glad he is recovering. Nice new crate - don't think I have ever seen one with a side door like that.
