Ok, this hurts. I have a 16 year old Shih Tzu that, at his yearly a month ago, the vet find a mass in the back of his mouth. Because of his age, I opted to not explore further in case it weakened him.
On the Plus side, nobody told him something may or may not be wrong so he continues to speed down the hallway and spins out at the kitchen and on his walks, he drags me around at his speedy pace
Considering his brother went into congestive heart failure on Mother's Day right after lockdown, I'll take this with grace :) (sort of)
