General Chat / Lump on Doodle's side
« on: April 04, 2017, 05:08:08 PM »
Hi all;
Every now and then, when I'm scritching Doodle's left side (between his front and back legs, right around his ribs), I feel a strange little lump that I can't see because of the thickness of his fur. Of course, it doesn't help that he won't sit still to let me check it, but when I touch it, he doesn't mind; it doesn't seem to hurt him at all. When he was a few months old, I found a large mole in his ear, which a vet determined to be benign. He also has birthmarks on his reproductive organs, and possibly on his feet, too. However, only the ear mole is raised. Given his history of birthmarks and moles, should I just assume that this odd little lump is another mole? It's been there forever!

I'm looking to purchase or make a new cage for Doodle, but as I live in New York City and am completely ignorant of woodworking techniques, the building my own cage thing may be a problem. so I was thinking-- what if I buy a large metal frame and add in wooden shelves? Does anyone have experience with that?
