Update from my vet visit

Mom took me to see Mr. Dr. Mike last night.  Ya know, I didn't like him much when I first met him 2 years ago... he's tall and I think he scared me a bit, so I'd bark and grumble at him when I saw him.  I'm happy to report, I've included Mr. Dr. Mike on my list of super awesome friends.  I even gave him a lick on the face last night!

Hey dude, you're allllll right.

Anyway, we went in so Mike could look at the bumpy dad found the other day.  Mike said kutos to my dad for finding it because it's in such a weird spot, it could have very well gone unnoticed.  But, I have a super dad who found it.  Mike did just about everything imaginable to my bumpy.  He told mom that I'm a very confusing case and in his 30 years of practicing doggie medicine, he's never encountered a dog so unexplainable quite like me.  So, he said if it were any dog other than me, he probably wouldn't think much of the bump.  BUT, since I'm the CMD (Corbin Mystery Dog), he wanted to steal some of my internals to look at.  This time it wasn't just pictures of my internals, he took a needle and STOLE my internal juices to look at them under a funky thing that blows my internals up so you can see them better.

My bumpy finding dad

Even after looking super close at my internal juice... he's still not sure what my bumpy is.  So he's going to have his other vet friends look at it today.  As long as everyone agrees that there is nothing super concerning, we're going to play the wait and see game.  It's possible a nasty spider put the bitey on me when I wasn't paying attention and there's an infection under my skins.  But, last time a spider put the bitey on me, I broke out in hives and the momma had to take me to the vets for an emergency visit and some anti hive shots.   Even when I get bit by a misskeeter, I get a big bump.  I don't like the buggies.  So, we're going to hang out for two weeks and recheck the bumpy as long as it doesn't do a superman change during those two weeks. 

Our other option, other than waiting, is for them to do the surgeries and take a bit of my bumpy and send it out for testing.  Now, both mom and Mr. Dr. Mike really want to get to the bottom of whatever has been making me ouchie, BUT they both agree that I've been through a lot of testing recently... and being patient and taking the concervative route might payoff in the end and save me from getting put under again.  Plus, Dr. Mike doesn't think my bumpy is the cause or source of my weird ouchies...

So, to sum up my life in the past 3 months... I had pancreatitis, unexplained ouchies and now a mystery bump.  Ugh.

I think all that calls for a nap.

AND!  I won't be around next week, so don't go worryin' about me.  I'll blog a bit, but I won't be around to comment or answer emails... ok?
