The one additional comment I had in the consult was about the lump. I didn’t know if it was scar tissue or cancer. I had not looked at it closely. I didn’t want to. When he went in for his 3rd surgery in November, I asked them to do x-rays. Arri was growing lumps weekly and I wanted to make sure he wasn’t hiding any. At the time, he was clean. Because the cancer was coming back so quickly, the 6 week old x-rays were too old. They took Arri back for new x-rays. He was clean – hooray!!!
Yet another topic to cover was boarding. One of the potential issues is weather. You wouldn’t know it to look outside but it is January and we are in Michigan. Easy to forget with the winter we are having. They do offer boarding at $40 a night but they prefer not to do it. The dogs heal better if they are with their family and in the comfort of their own home. We left that open ended knowing that if a big storm was predicted, we could board him instead of missing an appointment or stupidly driving in bad weather.
