Just thought I'd let everyone know. My little (well maybe not little, he is 2 years old now) Arnie has had to go into the vets today.

I had give him his half yearly bath, when I noticed two lumps on his belly. We took him to the emergency vets, who are keeping him in tonight, and doing a lump-ectomy tomorrow morning to remove the lumps, which they are then going to send for testing to see what they are and if they are malignant or benign.

So any spares vibes would be greatly appreciated

He has the op today, and we have now got him home. He is in the quarentine cage, and seems to be happy, and eating/drinking.

Good to know he is back to eating and drinking. I hope the recovery is speedy and the biopsy comes back in his favor.

The lumps were just fatty tissue, so was a huge relief. His scars are healed now, and he is doing great.
