Baron's lump


  • Hope all goes well, goodluck.


  • Good vibes coming your way!


  • Hope all goes well Robyn. This has been a particularily hard year for you. I'm so sorry you have to go through this as well.


  • You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers, Robyn. Hopefully this is easily taken care of. Hugs to you and Baron.


  • Positive vibes, prayers, and well wishes coming to you from the Netherlands..


  • Good thoughts sent your way. I hope it all turns out good and the growth is removed successfully.

    Have they diagnosed the type of cyst this is? I was aghast at the proportions.


  • We're all pulling for you Baron!


  • I just dropped Baron off at the vet clinic. I'm very nervous about this. Positive vines and prayers are appreciated.


  • You and Baron have been in my thoughts and prayers today. When will you hear anything? I hope all news is good news.

  • Waiting to hear about our boy Baron, hopefully just a big ugly benign cyst. Lots of good vibes headed your way.


  • Baron is home and he acts like nothing happened. He has his head in my lap hoping I'll drop some of my fried chicken on him. :p I wasn't able to speak with the vet after the surgery but she left some notes. The growth was attached in places to the underlying connective tissue. She removed all that she could but does not think she got all of it. A sample was sent to the University of Georgia for a biopsy and I should have results in 10-14 days. The scar is not as big as I was expecting but it is kind of ugly with all the stitches.

    And the vet removed a little wart looking thing on his left side at no extra charge.

    I totally forgot to buy an e-collar so I had to come up with something out of stuff I had here. I used a couple of stiff folders wrapped in a towel and duct taped around it. It's a bit bulky but it was the best I could do with no one to help.


  • Not pretty, but they did have enough skin to close it and that's good! Fingers crossed for a good pathology report. Keep feeding him fried chicken!

    Glad he is home safe and sound. It is so frightening to have them put under for a procedure!


  • Keep us posted on the results!


  • Aww - poor fella! Glad to hear he's feeling okay though. :) Best wishes to you both.


  • Wow…that is some incision! Looks like they really had to work to pull it together. I have my fingers crossed and sending good vibes for him. Let us know when you hear about the pathology.


  • Poor Baron. Give him lots of treats and loving. How are the rest of your pack reacting to Baron's incisions? Or do they even notice? I love the makeshift collar. Good ol' duct tape! You should send that in to the people who publish those books on everything you can do with duct tape! Keeping fingers crossed that the pathology report comes back as benign.

    Jayden asks that you tell his Daddy to get well soon.

  • Good wishes going your way.


  • Prayers are with you on the results Robyn.


  • Glad to hear that he is home with you & feeling well. I'll be praying for positive results from the biopsy. Keep us updated!


  • I'm very happy he's home allright, give him a hug..

    Prayers from holland for the results!

    Good news. After finishing a 14 day course of antibiotics, using antifungal/antibacterial wipes, and a switch in food, Mojo's toes are almost back to normal. Fingers (and toes) crossed that whatever he had doesn't come back. (The comment about dogs thinking bitter apple is a great basting sauce was cute. ) [image: 1529958787378-mojo-x27-s-toes-21-jun-2018-sm.jpg]

    To each their own opinion Debra, I am working with Oakley on other issues right now and at twenty nine months he is still maturing. I don't live my life by the "what ifs", as of right now I'm able to be with him all the time when I'm not working so yes, I cater to his wanting to be around me, it's not rewarding for me to have a dog that's not independent of me, but it's the reality..and until I'm ready to address it 100% I haven't…he has made significant progress in crating and barrier frustrations...so I'm happy with the progress, and frankly..these other issues needs to be dealt with before addressing this...in order to make me leaving him with others successful. He's a happy, healthy young boy with a complex and stubborn mind, I'm going to work with him and not fight him on evolving and adapting his behaviors. However, your concern is noted and appreciated.

    We checked the OFA site, and spoke with Liz who forwarded us to John Kirby. The test may have failed & they might be re-running it. John said he would call us if we needed to retest, so hurry up & wait some more!
