<DIV>Well, Ben had the lump removed today. The vet said it was not attached to
anything, and got it all. The histology report will take 3 to 5 days. The vet
said that as it was not attached to anything, there is probably no worry, which
makes me feel better, but will hold off real jumping around until I get the
report and it says it is benign. He is home now, and sleeping. He is not the
happiest wearing the snood, but it is much better than the cone. He also ate
dinner, although I did not give him a full serving. Boy, you should have seen
him high tail it out of the vet's office. He did not even pay any attention to
the other dogs there. When he first came home, he sounded so pitiful, with his
whining and howling. But now he has settled down. He got 1/2 a Rimydal pill, and
will get that twice a day for five days. Hopefully the snood can come off in a
few days.Douglas</DIV></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
