Hi,

Here is Hibbs looking a little sad. He has not been feeling well. We went to the vets because he had a lump of fluid in his ear. The vet said that it was caused from him shaking his head and the vet also found that he has a lump inside his ear. Hibbs will be thirteen years old May first. We gave him an antibiotic for ten days and the lump has actually gone way down. Thank goodness because he would have had to have surgery to drain and sew up his ear. Apparently there is nothing to be done about the lump in his ear at this time. I really hesitated to have him put under anesthesia. I was told that they are very careful with older dogs but I am glad we may not have to do that. Hibbs also has a heart murmur and so does Heeks. They can test for the cause but the price is a big consideration. We will just have to hope that he will be ok.

Having pets is an expense for anyone who has them and Veterinarians are charging rates near the price it would cost for people to go to the doctors. It costs nearly one hundred fifty dollars each for the dogs to go for a yearly physical. Anyone getting a pet should really think about this big consideration.

Donna :)
