This came in a while back, but I had been busy and could not post it for you.

Smita, who follows our blog very regularly sent this in response to our post on creating a checklist to make sure our pets don’t surprise us with sudden illnesses.

Thank you so much for giving the info about dealing with a sick pet :) .

But, i have tried it all and something is working. My pet kuttush is very sick. He is 10 yrs old, true he IS old. he had a lump on his forehead a few months back. It was growing, so we took him to the Dr. and the Dr. said that it must be a boil, but not a tumour. after medication it bursted out with lots of puss and blood, which Dr. said is a good sign that it cleared out. medicines again to dry it up which was like fighting a battle and we all hated it.
the area did not dry.. finally Dr. said he needs to make a small incision and take out the entire puss. Incision made, cleared out, area became neat… 6-7 days and then again it started. the same puss flowing out from the area.. and additionally the area itches and he scratches with his smart foot. Result- blood again.
Its a white beauty and i hate to see his forehead with a hole for last 6 months. Absolutely no sugar for him, so that he doesn’t get a blood sugar. He’s not well :( . He tries to go under the bed, he doesnt play like before…

what has happened??

Smita, I am no expert, but it is possible that your dog could be developing something called “Lipoma”. You can talk to your vet about this. I found this web page quite informative. It says that Lipomas are benign fatty lumps that are common in middle aged or older dogs. Once a dog gets a lipma it is possible that there may be recurrences.

Do let me know if you need any more help with this. I am also hoping that some of our other readers and dog lover/owners/vets would be able to provide some insight to Smita on this.

Anybody got anything?
