I think Sprout may have a funny lump thing :huh: I was just stroking him along his back and I felt 'something' that I don't think should be there. Feel ill. Sprout is my 'boy'. I will be phoning the vets at 9am tomorrow. I'm trying not to get too over hysterial but....he's The One and he's eleven and a half and I just hope this isn't the start of something I've dreaded all these years.

Thanks all

I've phoned the vet and made an appointment for 4pm today. I've already covered by back by warning them that it may actually be his spine and I'm just stupid and may just need canine anatomy lessons. I hope.

:luck: at the vets today

It may just be a harmless fatty lump, these are very common in elderly dogs.

Ben my old lab X had several of these, they caused him no problem at all.

Try not to worry :luck:

I had the same thing with my 8 year old spaniel a few weeks back, only on her tummy I too thought it may be the start of something awful. It turned out to be just an 'old age fatty lump', same as Mazza's dog in the post above. Fingers and paws crossed thats all all that's wrong with Sprout too, thinking of you at 4 o'clock :luck:

Hi all.

There is a lump but the vet doesn't think its a nasty type of thing. But because it's in a very peculiar position (in the muscle between two vertibrae of his spine), he feels that even if it's perfectly harmless in itself, it could cause problems due to its location if it grows bigger in time.

So The Sprout is having surgery to remove the lump on Friday of this week.

He's eleven years and nine months old (I refuse to say he's 12 until he's actually 12 :b ) so (as the vet mentioned) there is a slightly higher risk with the aneasthetic but I'm not thinkinggggg abouttttttt ittttttttttttt :- "

If you could start sending postive thoughts for plain sailing during surgery and for definate non-nasty lumps, that would be very helpful. Thank you. (I shall start taking my rescue remedy now and hope to be vaguely upright on Friday).

In case anyone doesn't know what the most gorgeous Sprout in the world looks like, here are some pictures....
