So my dog Kagin has had this lump on her side for a bit. It worried me a little, but I figured that I would just get the vet to check it out when she got her next set of vaccines. Well, she started coughing and sneezing and losing her appetite a couple days ago so I got a little more worried. THEN, yesterday morning she woke me up and was bleeding all down her side. Her lump was a cyst that exploded. I rushed her to the vet this morning in a panic, and luckily she’s fine. She’s on two antibiotics and had her gaping wound all cleaned up and she seems to be just fine. She has more energy now and has eaten both her breakfast and dinner today. And she’s happily gobbling up her medication because I wrapped it in Havarti cheese for her.

But oh man, was I f**king scared. Seeing a giant open wound on your dogs back is really scary.



She’s my favourite thing ever. I really hope that she isn’t becoming a super old dog already. She’s only 5 1/2 but the vet said this morning that she’s 10 years older than any other breed because she’s so big.
