Quick Trip to the Vet

Everything was going well this morning, then Michael decided I needed a bath.  I got through that without much trauma.  Then I went out onto the back porch to finish drying off and when I laid down, my leg started bleeding.  Michael was not amused and took me to the vet.  The vet said I have scraped off the top of a canine cutaneous histiocytoma.  Michael didn’t know what that was so I had to explain that it is a benign skin tumor in dogs 1-3 years old.  The vet put some medicine on it, put a gauze bandage over it and then covered that with Vet Wrap.  He told Michael to leave it on the rest of the day.  Silly vet.  Within 30 minutes, I had pulled the gauze out of the Vet Wrap and eaten it.  Hey!! it looked like a dish towel to me.  (If you don’t get the subtle humor, look back at the October 29,  2012 post.)  Michael was NOT amused.
