I was using the shedding blade on her today and notice a growth on her barrel (side). It's hard and attached, not a lipoma. Plus she's losing the muscling in her rear.

This is Dot last June

This is Dot today

I know she's 29 and has lived a nice long life, but I'm going to miss the old girl when it's her time.

Ohhhhh I hope it is nothing bad..........and if it is, I am so sorry.

 

[Di]

She is so beautiful!

 

[AZLAB]

That doesn't sound good....hope we are wrong.

 

[Clanceycanuck]

hard to watch all friends age - no matter the species

 

[Wendy B.]

Sorry to hear that news

Very true. I think I might finally not have a dog pass this year, but it looks like it may be Dot. I just can't escape death.

I'm so sorry. She is beautiful..

Having just lost our old "Jesse" I know how you are feeling. It's so hard to watch them go downhill.
No matter how hard it is though, I always think of it as a continuing cycle. For me, deaths have always opened up something new, fresh, and joyous. Oh, I greive, but then I just always seem to move ahead and something is always there to pick me up.

I hope Dot has many good years left. What has the vet said about the mass?

The vet hasn't been out. Bonnie isn't into traditional veterinary care.
