Sorry to hear that honeybear...did they have an opinion as to what they were probably? How long do you have to wait for results?
There is a guy at our barn who has an ACD, she is ancient and has tons of tumors hanging off her hind end, the guy said they were fatty tumors and the vet didn't want to remove them because of her age. So they just left them. She seems happy, they don't bother her. My thoughts are with you and Jake today...lots of hugs to you both.

Thank everyone for thinking of me and Jake, hopefully I will know something soon. The vet also found a lump under his armpit and OMG it is the size of a small tangerine. He also had one under his other pit.

Hi Honeybear! I wanted to tell you, my sisters Shi tzu (freebie's dad) has several fatty tumors on him. They found the first one when he was only one year old, it scared the heck out of them. They had it removed, then he got more within the next few years. The only ones they removed where the ones that would bother him, now they don't have them removed any longer because he is too old. But he's just fine! happy as he can be.

I will be praying that you get a good report on Thursday. Give yourself a hug, and Jake a pat from me. Susan

Thanks susan, if they turn out benign, the vet said the same thing, if they are in an area where it starts to irritate him like the ones in the armpit area, they would remove
