I’m worried. A month ago, I took my dog Tasha to the vet and he found a little nodule on her anus. (She’d been scooting.) He said it should be checked in a month, and if it’s grown she might need surgery. Her appointment for the followup is in the morning.

She’s seems like she feels fine – very little scooting or signs of discomfort lately. And I don’t see the problem, but I’m not a vet. I’m concerned. She’s 13, which is pretty old to be having surgery.

I realize that few people are actually reading this blog, but if you’re out there, say a prayer OK? Thanks.
