I asked if it could be melanoma as the health report said that dogs with
dark pigment in their mouths tend to be more prone to it. She said it
could and if it increases significantly in a month's time then we could
biopsy it.

Sign of a good vet here.

I hope so - keeping my fingers crossed.


She then mentioned Cushings. Thanks to Suja I was at least a little
familiar with this possibility and it was easier to absorb the ensuing
information.

Aren't you glad you were prepared for the possibility? :-)

Absolutely


Glad to hear things went SO well

I definitely felt much better after leaving her office than I did after
leaving the last vet in July.

- this definitely sounds like a good
vet. Keep us posted, of course, OK?

Of course
