After carefully discussing this with my regular vet, we both ended up deciding it wasn't worth putting him under to do it. She said at his age, not only are there probably nerves attached that would probably make it painful even with a block to try to remove it without fully putting him under, but if he's gone 7 years without them causing a problem they probably won't. So we decided if they do become an issue we'll address it, or if there ever becomes another reason we have to put him under we can take care of it then, but if not we'll leave them alone.
