He is 6 and on the positive side..no weight loss..and he looks great. Two of the growths were in the fatty tissue, not that he has any I can see lol, and one was attached to a muscle. Btw, I did some research on fatty tissue lipomas. One culprit is immune system issues. The body is not processing correctly so it throws out things like excess fat into little deposits instead of burning them. The other culprit is obviously diet. Obese dogs or dogs with unhealthy diets are prone to them from diets high in carbohydrates. And yes, rebecca, raw would be the solution lol..Bino is already on a diet high in protein with no grain..but it does have potatoes. The rice and corn are the bad carbs. So if it turns out to be lipomas, then we will have to do some investigation on that issue.

Awww Pam, It must really be hard, but I can only say, just think of what is in front of you and not the negative maybe. I have known many a dog large and small, that has had the same thing and more times then not, it was just fatty tissue. I am hoping for the best for both of your babies. I forgot, How old is Bino? He's the little 3 pound guy, right?

Sitting here looking at Bino and trying to think positive. So hard when you are looking at this beautiful little soul that you love to pieces. The phrase keeps going through my mind.."The Lord Giveth and The Lord Taketh Away". Did he bring little Tino into my life because he was taking back my Bino?? It is in his hands but it is going to be a tough week for sure.. | ||
