Rosie has been with us for nearly 9 years. Never noticed her ageing up until now.

She walks for miles each day, plays in the garden, chases flies, thinks the guest room is her own etc.

Never had a reason to take her to the vets for anything other than her regular checkups.

Recently spotted this on her belly;





Pictures not great as they were sent via text message to me by my other half.

This is the first and largest that appeared over the last couple of weeks. We went on holiday and left her with my parents.

There are also another couple that seem to be growing on her back.

Is it simply a sign of age or do we need to worry and get her to the vets? I'm hoping that Pet Plan won't need to be used!

My OH thought ticks. I'm happy with removing if so.

There doesn't appear to be any other symptoms.

Look forward to any vets giving me some advice.

Cheers.

She's booked in tomorrow afternoon at the vets. Rather they dealt with it.

Cheers mate, you have me worried with the lack of appetite as I'm sure she's been off her food.

We'll know tomorrow.

Thanks again.
