My buddy had a 2 pound mass removed from his shoulder today. For a 15 year old dog he did good. He is a sore puppy right now. I'm taking a day off from work tomorrow to help him in and out of the house. Rest and relaxation is what he needs now.

Oh my. Poor pup. I hope he recovers quickly. Did he get sent home with some pain meds?

Yes, he came home with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, pain meds and an ice pack.
He is doing surprisingly well. He is not even limping hardly and is negotiating stairs well.

Glad to read it. Our pets bounce back quicker than humans, I think.

I have 2 dogs and 4 cats, so we make vet visits often too. :)
 
Poor thing. I hope your buddy has a speedy and complete recovery, and no reoccurrence of the mass.
