| Prayers for my boy I'm taking my Lab Sammy in to the vets this morning. I described what he has going on on his tail and the chewing issue to them and they gave him an appt. right away. I hope its just fleas giving him trouble. I've been having a hard time getting them under control this year. Sammy never had this big of a reaction to fleas though so naturally I'm worried about it. I had a horrible nightmare that woke me up crying that he had skin cancer. Hes an old boy and was a pillar of strength for me when mom died, right along with my little Lola (who is going for support cause she loves her big brother.) Wish us good luck and a good visit! Also, that we don't get hit by a car on the way. Both of my cars are broken down so we gotta hoof it. Was going to get one fixed today but Sammy comes first. I'll see about affording car repairs later.

| I'm glad that he's getting to the vet today. Please update us on what the vet says... I'm hoping it's just fleas. We had a problem with fleas for the first time ever this year.

| Sammy is doing good. He got an E.Collar, some antibacterial spray, and some oral antibiotics. The doc said to just keep him from chewing till it heals. He wasnt a happy camper but hes doing ok now. The cone is kinda funny though he keeps bumping walls. Thank you for your well wishes and prayers!

| We actually tried a smaller one first. Wouldnt fit around his neck. Hes pretty big and muscley for 11yrs. Its kinda funny to watch him try and walk around. I make up for laughing at it by giving him his pills in pieces of hotdog.

| I am so glad it is not something really bad. I was praying and was happy when I checked back for updates. My first doggy love was a huge old lady Lab. Something about their wise loving eyes get to me every time. Hugs for you and yours. I am sure the car thing will be solved soon too. Merry Christmas.
