In June my groomer found black marks on one of his legs, I thought it was a bruise reason being, I live in the country in a heavily wooded area, many deer come on the back yard, Cody sees them and wants to fight them. When I let him out to potty, (he has a designated area on the deck to use) I open the door, he fly’s out like a rodeo bull out of the Shute ready for the fight, he slides across the deck and slams into the deck spindles that stops him, that’s why I thought was a bruise.


Then you put up your post and I immediately made an appointment with my vet. My vet diagnosed it as Melanoma, surgery was set up for 2 days later. I just got the biopsy report, it came back as benne. He had Pigmented viral plaque.


I was told to periodically check his entire body for signs of more, if found my vet can remove it with laser, no surgery would be needed. to periodically check his entire body for signs of more, if found my vet can remove it with laser, no surgery would be needed.
His stitches will be taken out tomorrow July 20, it can't come fast enough for me to get this cone of him. He is 14 years old and high spirited wants to play fetch, run and jump on sofa. People do not realize how one members post can help, possibly save the life of another members pups life.
Again, thank you for posting about Cookie

Glad to hear Cody got a good bill of health too! Ugh the wait to get the stitches out seems like it takes forever.
