Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| So a few days ago I noticed a small bump on Loki's paw. I pointed it out to Kevin, who said let's watch it but it is probably a bug bite (Kevin and I are covered in Mosquito bites). So this morning will playing with Loki before work I looked at his paw and it doesn't look like it getting any better. I plan on make a vet appointment for Saturday but in the meantime anyone know what it could be. I'm freaking myself out thinking tumor or something else that could be as equally horrible. Anyone have any ideas what it is? *edit* Was able to get him an appointment on Tuesday. All the vets but 2 are on vacation so they are filled up. |

| Looks like it could be from a cat fight? If you have cats? I know Rue had something similar and we surmised that it was from our cat attacking him cause he pissed the cat off. We cleaned it and it seemed to get better over time. |

| So last night vet visit went good. She did a general exam of him and is amazed at how healthy and beautiful his coat is looking. Poor thing screamed like a banshee when they took his temperature, it didn't help that Kevin was saying "exit only, exit only". Got 2 boosters shots for Lyme and Influenza and blood drawn to test for heart worms (something they do when all of their patients hit 1 year, 5 years, etc) and fecal test. She sat on the floor and tried to calm him because he did not like being manhandled (she checked he heart, ears, hips and knees). So she looked at his foot. Apparently it is happens it young dogs ages 1-4 quite often, much like an allergic reaction. It is a build up of histamines and causes a mass and normally goes away on its own in 3~5 weeks. More then likely Loki got bit by a bug and his body reaction badly is how she put it. She gave us an antihistamines and said if it doesn't get better in a few weeks to come back and she will get cells from it to test. So I'll just watch and wait. |
