I took Benji to see Mark today as he has a large lump/swelling on his left hind leg. Mark wasn't hopeful, the lump is solid, well attached and Mark thinks it is attached to the muscle so even if we did operate, it would be difficult.
Of course, surgery isn't an option due to Benji's age and also due to the fact that the only option would probably be amputation which isn't an option as Benji's other leg is the one with the really bad arthritic knee! Not good!
Benji is very brave. I will take him to see Susan again next week. In the meantime, Mark said that I can double his metacam without problems, so I will do that to make him more comfortable.
