Hey,

So yesterday Tetley and I had to go back to the vets. I wasn't looking forward to it at all.

Anyway, Tetley had been on anti inflammatory and no change. The vet said that this probably meant he's not in pain as if he was the med would help and he'd use his leg properly.

As Tetley is showing no signs of illness or pain the vet and I decided not to investigate further and just monitor him through the summer. All I would have is a name for this mass and if we operated he'd be in pain and indoors for the summer.

Obviously if his condition changes I'll take him back straight away. The vet said things happen slowly in torts and doesn't think it's right for Tetley to have anything done as yet.

I know I don't know what it is but if I did know would I have surgery on Tetley? I don't think I would. Others may have decided another course of action but this is what the vet advised and what I am comfortable with.

I know hes poorly but not suffering and he gets to feel the sun once more.

Happy to be home, Tetley smiles!
