[Gpdd] HEALTH- Mimi

[Penny Charlesworth]

Jaime,

Years ago, my Lima had a lipoma near her nipples. For a long time it
remained the same just like with Mimi but it suddenly grew so large that
she was having difficulty walking. Normally a lipoma can be left alone but
in Lima's case, the vet decided that it had to be excised. She was five at
the time and I was very nervous of her having the op but a new vet had just
joined our surgery and he was confident that it could be done. I had no
choice but to go along with him and I was very relieved when she came round
after the anaesthetic and started to eat up immediately.

All paws crossed here for Mimi.

We are delighted that Scrappy has found a new home with one of our own and
hope that we will continue to hear news of him. Such a lucky boy. He
deserves nothing but the best.

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
