Grover Update

So yesterday I took Grover back to the vet for a follow up with Dr. Kelly. After trying 3 different foods she has decided to give up on the food front for now, since he won't eat any of them. I had noticed this lump on Grover's back near his tail on Tuesday and it seemed to be sensitive, so I really went to have her check that out, turns out it was just a fatty pocket that no one had seen before.

She is running blood work on Grover that we should have back on Friday, blood work that cost $140!!! She wants to make sure he doesn't have a thyroid problem because he has this weird crease in his tail & thyroid dogs usually have a crease in their tails and carry their fatty pockets around their tails. So we shall see! I hope it is not his thyroid, but I hope we can figure something out. We know a couple who have a labradoodle who has a thyroid issue & is on crazy expensive medicine! After the blood work comes back our next step will be to see a doggie dermatologist! Let's hope that someone can figure out something soon!
