Please can I have some positive thoughts for my boy tomorrow
He has a few small patches of black pigmentation on the skin around his eyes and mouth. They weren't there when he was a puppy but have appeared over the last few years. One of our vets calls them William's beauty spots, but I've also been told to keep a watch on them for any changes.
One of them, in a really tricky place about a millimetre or two below the centre of his lower lip, has become raised. It's really tiny and looks like a skin tag but is black of course. My vet doesn't think it's nasty but we agreed that it would be better to have it removed and tested while it's tiny. If it got bigger it could be difficult to remove without damaging his mouth.
So please think of us tomorrow. He's such a good boy at the vets and goes in with his little tail wagging, but I know from past experience that he hates being left there and that he is a complete wuss for a day or so after having an anaesthetic.
