That is Riley's AKC name...that lug of love that he is has a mass, a very large mass under his right arm. Yes we call them arms in this house. :) I took him to the vet today to have it checked out as it is in a very strange spot, and it isn't on the surface like his other fatty tumors that he has. The vet looked him over, and sure enough, we are to have surgery in the very near future. The vet wasn't talking C, but she did say that she was unsure what it was. It is intertwined into his muscle, and if we don't remove it, it will prevent him from being able to jump up on the sofa, or just use that leg.
We have to wait until the middle of May when his insurance plan has rolled over so that we can do it while he is getting his teeth cleaned. Then they will take out all of the tumors that he has..(even his fatty ones) and then send them all to pathology.
We haven't much else talked about what we will do once the reports come back. If it is C, we are at a toss up. Riley is 10, and yes they can live much beyond this, but we don't want to compromise the time we have left with him. Boooooo I am trying to not worry, as well...not much we can do till then, right? But he is my lug of love, and he was my first baby. I love that lug of love!
