More News From the Vet
One day last week we noticed that Henry had a little knot on top of his head. For lack of a better description, it was sort of like a mini version of what Fred Flintstone would get when his bowling ball lands on his head (for those of us old enough to remember when cartoons were actually funny). Anyway, I digress. The bump was not really THAT big, but it was, of course, of concern. We texted our vet who recommended a quick check.
So, off to the vet we went. We actually scheduled Henry's sonogram for this trip too, rather than wait another 3 weeks and take more time off work. So, just trying to kill a couple birds with one stone (although we'd never kill a bird or any animal except maybe a snake---sorry snakes and snake lovers). ANYWAY....by the time we got to the vet a few days later for the knot on his head, it had already shrunk in size substantially. That was a good thing. Our doc explained it was just a cyst and right now there was nothing to worry about it but we will watch it to be sure nothing crazy happens.
The better news, however, was Henry's sonogram. Henry's kidney, liver and spleen all look lovely. And our doc was very impressed with how well Henry is doing. He HAS seen Henry at some pretty low lows so for our doc to say how good he is doing sure means the world. Coincidentally it was our doc's birthday! He was turning 47 and offered us some cake to take home. Sadly we didn't have anything to carry it in or we would have snagged a slab. But there was no way a beautiful piece of cake was getting all the way home unwrapped AND undisturbed by Henry. And Henry had taken bite of that yummy cake we would have had to turn right around and have our doc give us a thumbs down and we certainly DO NOT want THAT!
We are just looking for all the #HenryStrongs and #TeamHenrys that we can muster!

#HenryStrongAllTheWay. Did Henry handle this trip better? Seems you mentioned before he got anxious.
The cake looks yummy, but boy it certainly was not a cake Henry could eat without a turnaround trip to the vet.

the cake looks so yummy so glad to hear Henry did great at the vet Henry strong
Hi Sue (Welcome back and hope you are doing better yourself!)
Henry did/does fine at the vet. He is rarely anxious there. (He only gets wild after surgery/coming out from under anesthesia. For normal trips to the vet, though, he is surrounded by people that love him and dote on him (even if he does get poked and prodded) so he is usually good (#HenryStarOfTheShow). Post surgery and alone time=not good times for Henry.

So glad that knot on his noggin was nothing to be concerned about.
Hank, in his element.
So wonderful to get such good news from the vet!! Go Henry!
It’s really great to read this post! I love hearing all about Henry’s good news!! And I can easily picture him being the star of the show when he goes there! I’m sure he’s their favorite patient!
Now for that cake. I think I would have been tempted to leave and find a store, buy something to carry it in, and go back for a piece!
WooHoo for Henry’s lovely kidney, liver and spleen…that cake doesn’t look too bad either;)
Oh what great news!!!!!! #HenryStrong, #HenryGoodBoy….my heart is sooooooo happy to hear such great news. It makes my day! Thanks for sharing such great news!
Yay!!!! Such wonderful news. So thrilled for all of you.
Great news to hear! Nothing better than a lovely, heart, liver & kidneys! AS for the cake-the sweetness level alone would send me to the doc. Good news, good day! Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2
#HenryStrongAllTheWay! What a great doctors appt for Henry thumbs up from the doctor, bump is going down on his noggin and he dodge a bullet with that cake. Sounds like a win, win all around!

Good news, Henry!
Such wonderful news all the way around! Henry is the best!!! #henrystrong
As for the cake, you are better people than I. I would’ve held out my hand and said “I’ll carry it home!” Or I would’ve eaten it right then and there! Ha!
