And Tigger, Peaches brother.... (he is going to the vet tomorrow as he has a growth on his gums, right between 2 teeth... all I can think of is the dreaded "c" word.... :(

Peaches also has some lumps and some teeth problems, but I cant afford to take them both to the vet at once... I feel like such a bad mommy... and I am so worried for Tigger....

Thanks for posting pics of the rest of the family. Try not to worry. There's nothing you can do until the vet has a look. Hopefully, it's just something benign.

I can see where Tigger got his name! Hope they do ok :wideeyed:

Hope they are okay! I like dogs more than people most of the time...

GOOD NEWS !!

Tigger went up the the vet today and it was nothing... well almost ! LOL!

He has extra growth on his gums :

"A benign overgrowth of gum tissue is called an epulus. These growths are not uncommon and tend to become quite large. They can lead to gum disease because food deposits can become trapped in the gap between the tumor and the tooth allowing bacteria to multiply and attack the gums. These growths are benign and are not life threatening."

The vet said if it gets to big and interferes with his eating to take him in and get it removed.

The vet did not even take Tigger into the exam room, she sat with us in the waiting room, looked at his gums (I lifted his lip and showed her the lump) and she said thats nothing, an epulus. One quick look and thats all it took ! And Tigger did not even want to leave, he wanted to go in the exam room ! LOL! The vet gave him a treat, a pig ear, and we took it home and he ate it :) She only charge us $5 !!! And said just pay it at the next visit when Peaches goes in for her check up !! YAH ! So Tigger got a long walk to and from the vet (he is tired out now! LOL), a Treat, and a clean bill of health !! YIPPIE !


What a great day so far !! Pheww !

Now to make an appointment for Peaches... hopefully she has nothing wrong with her as well....

Great news all around, glad to hear it!

[CACAdmin]

That's such great news to hear! :red_dance: It must have been such a relief for you to hear the vet give him a clean bill of health. (Sounds, too, like you have an awesome vet... some would have charged a full visit anyway.)

They are kinda cute!

I like dogs, but can't really have one. I'm allergic to those cute critters! :eek:

I'm happy everything went well at the vet, and that it was nothing too serious!

he wanted to go in the exam room ! LOL! The vet gave him a treat, a pig ear, and we took it home and he ate it :) She only charge us $5 !

Best vet visit ever!

[happy_pitbull]

Well.. Peaches went to the vet today !

And she is now on antibiotics for the puncture wound (thats what the vet thinks it is) in her gum line. The vet checked out all the little lumps and warty things on her, and the lump in her belly, and she said not to worry..... :yes:

She thinks the little lumps are cysts, and the large lump in her belly a fatty tumour... nothing to worry about, keep an eye on them and watch for any growth or changes. And that it would do more harm than good if the lumps were removed.... as Peaches is a licker (OCD !!) and cannot stop licking... Thats how some of her lumps were formed! LOL! And to remove them, well she would lick the wounds and make it way worse :rolleyes:


So... she is now home and content on the floor next to me, licking of course !!:laugh:

I had to hide out back with her though, and had to leave out the back door of the clinic, as Peaches does not care for other dogs/cats ! LOL! She may not hurt them, but sure does put on a show ! And I did not want a scene..she would squeal and bark and yelp and pull if she encountered another dog in such close quarters ... silly girl !

But she gave kisses to everyone she saw, as she love people so much ! I had to hold her face away from the vet as she kept slobbering kisses all over her face! LOL!

So... $53 dollars later... (also picked up some ear drops for my other dog why gets ear infections quite a bit)... and I am very happy ! I thought both my dogs would have to have surgery, and I was scared I would end up spending hundreds ! But nope !! So I am VERY VERY happy !! :yes::yes::yes::yes:

Glad to hear all went well... no need for surgery is great news. (both for you and the dogs).:yes:

[jordonsmum]

[happy_pitbull]

Thanks for the kind words... and yes, they do get anything they want ! Even my precious ice cream ! LOL!

Good to hear it wasn't too expensive!

Yeah!! You must be relieved that it's over with! You've been worrying for weeks over those doggies!!
