About a Dog...

She-who-must-be-obeyed is sick.

Well, sort of. She has a mass on her back-end (near her pee-er, to be precise). She has had this growth for a while, but late last week (perhaps in response to all that chocolate??) the growth seemed to get larger, and was irritating her to no end. Keith took her to the vet to have it checked out. It is a mast celled tumor, and it must go. These tumors can cause a histamine surge, which can be dangerous. She is on anti-histamines and pepcid for her stomach (apparently histamines can cause ulcers, too) until she has surgery to remove it, which is scheduled for Wednesday.

I am upset, and worried about her. In response to my worry, I am spoiling her rotten, and she is eating it up. We will not know the prognosis until after the surgery, but will let you know when we know.
