Rose had another vet appointment today.

Rose had another vet appointment today. After having her anal glands expressed at her last visit her doctor said her bottom would likely be irritated and that her weird coochie-stomp behavior may not improve for a day or two. He said if it persisted that we should bring her back.

Well, it persisted.

He examined her again, but this time when he parted her vulva a mass of tissue about the size of a small bouncy ball came out. I was like "I didn't know they did that!" and he explained that normally they do not. He said that did not happen last time he checked her, either.

So weird-puppy is scheduled for surgery in a couple of weeks. Doc said that due to her age and being spayed there's an 86% chance that it's NOT cancer. Given that information we might have considered not doing surgery; however, the fact that it clearly bothers her means it needs to be dealt with. The up-side to doing the surgery is that we can confirm whether or not it's cancer. Paws crossed that it is not.
