  1. Wink had one removed several years ago on her belly area. She got so loopy from the pre anesthesia that she didn't need to be put fully under. They removed the mass and took extra to get the margins. Fingers crossed it has not returned although we were told it was a possibility. I hope you have as good a result as we did.

  2. Congratulations on your new addition. You got yourself a wonderful boy. I know him from his racing kennel. There his name was Ryan. He is very sweet and handsome. He was there with 2 other littermates Do You Get My Drift and Driven by Fate who were also wonderful sweet dogs... and beautiful as well.

  3. I had littermates to compare and here is what I had...

     

    Male at 3 years retired due to soft tissue injury (front wrist) about 70 races under his belt. Finn had confirmed arthritis at 3.5 years and significant joint issues his entire life. I just lost him at almost 9 due to a bone cyst.

     

    Female retired 2 months before her 5th birthday over 200 races in her career. Wink has had NO issues with any joint/bone areas.

     

    I think it is the luck of the draw and you can't predict anything due to the number/length of racing career.

     

  4. That is too bad about Turbo and his lameness. I lived through so many episodes with Finn. He only got to run the Fun Run the first year of the Expo. It always broke my heart to have to leave him home. I hope he makes a quick recovery.

     

    ps: after soaking in epsom salts I would apply bag balm or some form of pad cream and see if that would soften up the pad any more.
