It Never Rains........

I took Henry to the vet's yesterday because he has.........a lump.

My three-legged mate has had this lump virtually ever since we first teamed up together about seven years ago but it always used to be fairly small, soft and pliable.

That led all who checked him over to conclude that it was just harmless, fatty tissue but over the last fortnight said lump has grown considerably, become hard and now resembles a submerged golf ball. The vet took one look at it yesterday, noted the change and said Hen would have to have it cut out.

As a result, the little man and I are going back to the vet's this morning to check him in for the operation. Once the nastiness is carved out it will be sent away for tests and we will see where we go from there.

It could just be benign. It could be some kind of blocked duct. Then again, it could be.....................No! Best not to even think about it. Having lost my beloved Padfoot in February to the Big C I dare not ponder what might be in store.

So, fingers and paws crossed everyone. I'll keep you posted.
