It is so scary for our people, while we just live day to day and don't stress about the things we can't do anything about. <br /><br />Grammy used MSM, Glucosamine & Chondroitin for several years for me after I got hurt by that goat that crunched my hips, and about a year ago, she started using Dr. Frank's Joint Pain Relief that had worked really well for a friend's older dog. It has really helped me, though I do have a condition that will steadily worsen. She says it has given her another year with me so far... I'm glad because I really love her, and I know she really loves me!

Our mom likes concrete answers too when it comes to our health. As much as she loves our doc., if something doesn't sit right she'll seek out a second opinion just for her own peace of mind. <br /><br />But, the doc is right about the fatty tumors, they usually don't cause any problems.

You know we luv you guys! <br />A couple of things to keep in mind:<br />-Vets have lots of experience with these type of things and even though it is an educated guess....at least it is educated, right? You said you really liked him and you have to trust that he is doing the best for your sisters. <br />-Humans are taught to want answers now and there are a lot of tests that are done on humans to get those answers. Unfortunately, vetinary medicine doesn't provide all the same tools as human medicine does but the docs do the best they can with the tools they have. <br />I don't know if that helps at all but can you tell my mom has been through this more than once? I seriously almost died a few years ago and mom and dad had to learn to trust the experts. <br />We are here if you need to blow off some steam and will be waiting for updates.<br />Sending lots of healing doxie sun rays your way.<br />Hugs and loves,<br />Twix and MomTaffy https://www.blogger.com/profile/12917995098207009858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-14916929009354475552010-04-28T18:41:02.608-07:002010-04-28T18:41:02.608-07:00We are a little late getting here, but for what it...We are a little late getting here, but for what it's worth, we think a second opinion isn't a bad idea. It sounds like you left there with lots more questions than answers. It is great that there is no mast cell, but couldn't they tell anything from a biopsy about what it is? Sorry, don't mean to sound so harsh, but sometimes we get so upset with vague answers. We went through a lot of that with Dakota for way too long. <br /><br />Hope the rimadyl helps, but once again, it isn't something to use long term without careful monitoring of the liver.<br />Woos = Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/07539957828544908415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-54041912263952167522010-04-28T17:15:24.641-07:002010-04-28T17:15:24.641-07:00Even though it's not conclusive it sounds like...Even though it's not conclusive it sounds like pretty good news!Oskarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232739145599522254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-90782944835144824842010-04-28T13:38:30.812-07:002010-04-28T13:38:30.812-07:00Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Twinkie and family....

It takes about a month to see its benefits but she will be putting all of her dogs of a certain age on it to prevent problems.

Anywho, Ariel had her fatty tumor removed because our vet said that they can grow sooooo big you can't close the hole back up and they can grow internally. Ariels was very large and we watched it for a few years...so we took it off and she has been fine ever since. That was before we were blogging, so a couple of years ago.

YAY!!<br />okie dokie, now my mama is gonna take over --<br />if you are still worried, it can't hurt to get a second opinion. the only sure way to know what kind of tumor it is is to biopsy it. from past experience, if the tumor even looks remotely scary, the vet will usually take it off asap. asa had a tumor appear on her back, and it grew very quickly. i took her to the vet, and the vet was pretty sure it was benign. however, just in case, asa had surgery like 2 days later. it wound up being a histiocytoma (benign tumor).<br />*woof*<br />the booker man (and his mama)the booker manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492621421326726384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932846146573196046.post-18901307571327043642010-04-27T17:29:29.353-07:002010-04-27T17:29:29.353-07:00Mack has used Ridiyal and Deramax for ages.
