Well looks like we are going to do surgery. My Vet says it could be a hernia and it could be a tumor, he won’t know until he takes it out-

He said if it is a hernia then he can fix it- Whatever it is he wants it out. He told me where the bump is located it is not a good a idea to leave it there- Peanut is so small it just isn't a good idea. If it does get bigger, we can run into bigger problems, since the bump is located tight by his Ween area...

Peanut is also due for a dental so he wants to get that taken care of too- He gave me a couple breaks on the price of the surgery.. it is $360, which includes growth removal and dental, e collar.. meds to go home.. They fully monitor them when they are under, I have full trust in my Vet and I know he only wants what is best for Peanut- My Vet knows how much Peanut means to me and I know he wants to do what is best! I know if it was something he thought didn’t need to come out, he would tell me---

However like Cathy (107Barney) says “ Why leave something like that in their body”

I was going to wait on the dental.. I know the surgery is more important, however Peanut will need a dental by the end of the year so I might as well do it together- I don’t want to have to put him under 2 times within a couple months!

I talked to DH, he agrees with Dr Sandu and wants to go along with the surgery. We are going to schedule it for next month… I want to do the surgery on a Friday and take the day off so I can be with him for 3 days..

I hope and pray it is something simple like a hernia… I really pray it isn’t a tumor- Dh is set on knowing it isn’t a tumor- so I have to start thinking that way!!

Thanks for the prayers, I guess I’m going to still need them!!
