Moose went to the vet this morning for his annual shots and to have a lump checked out. It turns out he has not one but two new lumps (in addition to a 3rd one we had checked in the fall)! Doc wants to remove it soon because it feels a little too deep to be a lipoma. I am not going to get too worried just yet but it was not exactly what we wanted to hear! Everything else is fine and he is down to an emaciated 102lbs! The vet says it is a good weight for him but he seems less Moose-ish if he only ways 100lbs! Still it is easier on his knee so that is good.
After that I took my lumpy boy for a quick romp at the dog park since it was on the way home. This is a big deal because he has not been since last fall when he hurt his knee. He was very excited when we pulled in to the parking lot and was very happy to get in the gate. He got a fine how do you do from the 2 dogs that were there and trotted around with them and took a dip in the pool. When 2 more dogs arrived he really started running so we left since I did not want him to over do it!
Here he is with little boxer girl. We did not know any of the pups there but then we used to hang more with the evening crowd. I would love to take him more but I don't want to let him stay long and it is 20 miles away so it is a long trip for a short romp. Wish there was a closer park!
P.S. Our buddy
Wally Tamale Corgador went to the vet today to check on his senior moments and other issues that have been causing him to feel poorly. We hope the doc had some good news for him and his brudder Oscar BS Teen who also went to the vet.
Good News - glad you got to go to the doggy park. Good job losing weight too. Wish Bell could put some weight on. She's sure been a chore - we've tried all we can to help her but.. guess she's got a good metabolism :) .. We'll be introducing a few dogs later today - maybe you can come take a peek later

poor moose - i can send you Sweetie to be your nurse - she is a very good nurse.
ReplyDeletehappy to hear you had fun at the park - we use to love the park - but now it is a non bully breed park and we cant go

thank you for the tips... I do know that Bells daddy 2 legger keeps getting different types of food for her instead of sticking to the same kind. I think that has something to do with it! But, I can only do so much as far as that goes. I'm going to print what you wrote and let him read it.. hopefully he'll take it in :) .. I appreciate your advice. We were using a good dog food Avoderm I think?! Welp, I'll keep evfurrydog posted!
ReplyDeletethanks again!

Wooo! I am glad you have lost weight, that is good for you. I wish I was allowed to go to dog parks, but Mom does not let me due to my seizures and Mom keeps hearing about dog fights in the park. Lucky you! I hope your lumps are fine!I will keep my paws crossed.

We hope is nothing serious about those lumps.
ReplyDeleteWe keep saying this but is the truth: why don't we have dog parks? Seems so much fun!!!

We LOVE the doggy park, but ours doesn't have a pool. Ours is about 15 miles away, but it's also about 200 traffic signals away too, so it takes a long time to get there!
ReplyDeleteHope you get a good report from the vet!
thank you for that website - it's great! I dont mind paragraphs in my blog.. makes it more fun LOL ...
ReplyDeleteWe know about the lumpy bumps. I sure hope Moose is ok. And has enjoyed his romp!!!

Zack has a lumpy too. The vet checked it out again last month and said she feels certain it is fatty tumor...so I'm hopeful for Moose as well, but it's best to have checked out early.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on weight loss!

Hi Moose,
ReplyDeleteHey - I've started getting lots of lumps too! I have loads of little ones all over my body...they say it is because I am getting old...humph! But I am lucky - the vet says I don't need to remove any of them yet...hope your big one is removed OK with no more problems!
That is such a shame your dog park is so far away...you look like you had agreat time!
Don't worry - at 100lbs, you're still a BIG dog!!! :-) I also have to keep my weight down, as its better for my joints...which is really hard because I'm a tall girl and so I put on weight really easily without anyone noticing! hee! hee!
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Hey Buddy - glad to hear about you losing the weight, my vet was VERY happy with my weight too! I am sad to hear about the lumpys...let us know how it goes.
