I haven't been on this site for awhile now and I was reading my last post and noticed that I never updated the latest news. Dumpster never had the surgery. While we were trying to get the liver taken care of 3, more lumps started on the little guy. He now has a large one on his neck, not really protruding like the rest, just about 2-3 inches outward but about a 5x5 area. He has nice little golf balls under both his armpits and a few on his legs. The mass that was in groin has about doubled in size. Everytime I look at him I swear I see another lump. After speaking with the doctor we decided that there was no reason for surgery since they are just taking over his body. Other than looking like lumpy cake batter, he is doing great!! We have decided to forgo any treatment due to his age, he is 12 years old. He has had the lumps now for over a year and he doesn't act like anything is bothering him. I have noticed that his breathing is a little labored and his nose is always running green goo, we will have that checked again this weekend at the vet. Thank you guys for all the comments, they really go a long way!!!! Leslie
