UPDATED on Shiloh - 2nd post today

Well, whatever it was - it ain't there no more.  The vet said that it was not a cyst - he tried to drain it but nothing would drain.  
He would not even guestimate what it was- 
he said he used to do that but 
was always wrong so he won't do it anymore.  
He did say we could just give it a week or two to see what happened and 
if I did want it removed and a pathology report- that would take at least a week and over $125.

What I remember the most was how it was less
than a month ago.
I had Shiloh to this vet then but the
vet did not seem too concerned and
just told me to watch it-
which is exactly what I did.
(Remember from my prior post - it was basically a small spot, barely raised)
Within the last couple of days, 
the bump got to the point where it was starting
to make Shiloh's hair stick out.
So that is where we are at now-
waiting at least 7 to 10 days,
maybe a day or two longer due to the holiday,
for the results of the path report.
In the meantime, Shiloh has never been bothered
by it and his appetite has definitely not changed.
Since the harness he wears on walks and visits 
comes really close to the shaved area-
also has two staples-
he is pretty much stuck in the house and 
our bakyard.
(Will get the staples out on 7/9)
I want to get him some chicken (got rice)
and other good stuff-
Shiloh'n Shasta almost always get a little extra
mixed with their kibble altho not much-
tonite it was a few blueberries and a
spoonful of cottage cheese for each
(just usually do a little extra for variety-
they are not spoiled at all)
Ok - 'nuff rambling for now-
now the hardest part is upon me-
the waiting while 
Shiloh is totally oblivious to any of this.
Instead, he is wondering whatever did he do to
deserve loosing a small part of himself so traumatically.

What's up with Shiloh?

This is from the mom and gotta be quick since me and Shiloh are headed off to the vet to see if we can find out what this is->
 (this is the best pic I could get but still not good.)
It is less than 1/4 inch off the skin and about as round as a usual size pencil eraser.
I first noticed something in this same spot a couple of weeks ago but by the time we got to the vet, it had almost disappeared - it looks a lot worse this time.  I hope it is not what my first thought was - I have had a melanoma removed and I know the signs to look for.


Ok - I will update when we return if there is any updating to do about Shiloh.  If anyone is so inclined to say a little prayer, it would be much appreciated.
Gotta go for now,
Kim and Shiloh

An'now fer a breef werd frum our sponsor


FINALLY - our mom haz a few(that'z all?) 
werdz 'bout her vizion-
(while we continu with our erly mornin'nap)

Thank you Shiloh'n Shasta.
Thw eye doc was really encouraged and
surprised at how good my eye was looking 
this past Friday.
Yes, I am seeing better and
this past Friday I was able to go back
to work after being off for almost a week.
I will see my eye doctor again this Friday which
is a good thing-
appointments are becoming a 
little more spaced apart which 
is a really good indication of 
healing and improvement.
Gotta go for now- 
time to get ready for work.

Wordless Wednesday - not really

Shasta with her Easter frog and 
Mr. Duck
No, Mr. Duck is squeeker-less but she still loves him.



 Shiloh had to check out Easter frog too-
under the watchful eye of 
Miss Shasta 
but as you can see, all her complaining
didn't stop Shiloh from taking a nap with
Easter frog.









PS - my vision is still improving but not fast enuf.  I have been off work since last Friday - hope it doesn't continue much longer.  Another eye doc appt this Friday.  So much "fun" having an eye condition where doctors can only treat a problem by a hit and miss method-
let's try this treatment and if it isn't working then will try this instead.
Oh well, at least sonething works - eventually.
