laurie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Rhemus (who is about to turn 12 ) has a weird thing that just showed up on his back between his hip bones. I'm a nurse, and it feels just a like a big, fat, juicy vein. Except it comes out on one side of his spine, goes over it, and then dives back into the underlying tissue. OR, it could be like a little tumor or lump. Exept that it feels just like a vein. He is a very, very thin houndie-he eats well and his bloodwork (full senior panel plus thyroid plus TBD) is all normal. Except for his teeth--he's missing about 20 of them, and the ones he has left are not great--he's very healthy. He's just one of those skinny old men. Anyway it may be that he's just so thin I'm able to notice things more. It isn't painful to him. I'm just wondering if anyone's ever seen anythng like that before? I'll be calling his vet later to see what he thinks.

nancy14 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'll be anxious to hear what the vet says.
