i like to think it's no big deal..

last thursday, i noticed a couple golf ball size bumps on buddy's left shoulder.
sorta what felt like fluid pockets, soft to the touch.
he didn't seem hurt, acted the same & still had an appetite.
the vet told us to give him benedryl to see if it was an allergic reaction to anything.
we noticed that one of the bumps went down quite a bit on saturday but was still noticable.
on monday we had buddy scheduled to be neutered.
when we took him in, the vet decided she was going to focus on the bumps to make sure everything was ok before neutering him.
she examined & drained the fluid pockets.
it wasn't exactly normal but wasn't abnormal either if that even makes sense.
it may be a cyst or even a foreign body but it should hopefully go away with the meds.
they have put him on antibiotics twice a day for ten days.
so next wednesday is when he will finally be neutered.

he was sooo cute when we picked him up from the vet.
completely drugged & confused.
he started whimpering last night once the meds were fading.
he constantly wanted us at his side, petting him, letting him know everything was ok.
he is doing much better today.
has already tried to chase a couple birds & a squirrel.
hopefully we will see a decrease in these bumps & not have to take further action.
WELL- it looks like we at least have buddy for two more weeks...

happy tuesday friends!
