One of our dogs, Boris, went in for surgery today. The vet just called and it's not looking good. Several weeks ago we noticed some lumps on his hind quarters and a little bump on his eyelid. We took him to the vet and they wanted to cut right away. We got some other opinions and in the meantime more lumps began to show. He had several of the bigger ones removed and they will be analyzed, but the vet said they are everywhere. They don't know yet what is going on. It may be cancer or just some virus or skin infection but it does seem serious. The wife and I very attached to our dogs and this is becoming an emotional ordeal. I humbly ask for prayers, vibes, advice or assurance. Anything could help at this point.

Just got back from walking the dogs.
So sorry to hear about your friend. I know it sounds scary. We went through a similar thing with our Oliver a year ago. We were really frightened for a few days. Some pretty significant surgery and he's been fine since.
Good luck to Boris and his packmates (you, your wife and other dogs).
If it comes to the worst Boris will know how much he's been loved and what a great contribution he's been to his family. All that a dog wants. None of us can hope for more.

Boris and other members of your family are getting all possible good vibes from me. Having a 16 year old, one-eyed, four legged best buddy who is slowing down, I think I know how you feel.
Best,

Thanks guys, and I know you're right HT but I still can't help feeling really sad right now. That is probably how it should be.

Sorry to hear of Boris' travails, and I hope he'll be better soon.
His evil twin and sidekick also send good wishes.
(Note Boris' resemblance to FatTrad.)

So sorry to hear about your pooch.
It's so hard to see them age, much less have medical problems.
What would we do without our beloved animals.
I recently went through the same thing with my 12-year-old, rat terrier Monty, he has a small eggs lump behind his front leg. I charged the vet hoping for the best. I was greatly relieved when the vet said it was benign, mostly happens to large dogs, it's a fatty tumor.
I hope you to will get good news.
I will say a prayer for you.

My thoughts & wishes go out to Boris & Wayno & family.
I hope Boris pulls thru on this. My dogs are family to me & the loss of either one would be so hard. Hopefully the vet can help.

Positive vibes to Boris for a good outcome. Pets are family, no doubt about it.
