Fatty Tumors on My Sheltie

[BigBlueHen53]

We have had dobes and they are also prone to lipomas. My first dobe had everything imaginable wrong with her and even survived emergency bloat surgery at age 11 which is old for a dobe. We first learned about lipomas from her.

I’m all about the video today. If medical things don’t gross you out Dr. Pimple Popper has YouTubes of removing them from people.

Thanks, @Willowspirit ! Umm.... think I'll pass on the video, though!

@Willowspirit , I think I may watch it after Gracie's surgery.

When the vet drew aspirates out of these lumps, what he drew out appeared completely clear. Like water. No visible blood or pus that I could see. He didn't look at it under a microscope or anything. Should he have?

Wishing Gracie the best of luck! Sounds like you have a great vet.

Wouldn’t have to really. Sounds very good!
