Pippit had his physical yesterday. Dr. Sam(who we love) said he looks great. Teeth are awesome and we can probably wait 2 years before he needs a dental. Weight is great(he gained .2 lbs from last year) She said it's obvious that someone loves him very much. (So true!):hearts:
And then I showed her his "growth" on his chest. She said it's most likely nothing, but if it would make me feel better she could take some cells out and look at them under the microscope.....so, of course she did. All she saw was fatty cells, nothing to be worried about. Just keep an eye on it and if it changes or grows, then we will do a biopsy.
Pippit got his shots and even had his toes chopped off. (And he was a very good boy) And he even gave Dr. Sam kisses when we were leaving.

That's great news! Bambi has had so many fatty growths over the years, I already know when it's good or not, but I don't blame you for worrying.

That's great!
I'm so glad that Pippit's doing so well and that the growth was nothing to worry about. It seems like almost every dachshund I've had has had at least one of those fatty growths. Miller has one now on his chest that's been there for ages and is fine.
