Tennis ball sized soft SQ mass in R groin, non painful SKIN: approx 8cm red, raw, round button shaped mass on midline abdomen- appears to be where umbilical area is.

R groin mass could be lipoma, which is a benign mass. If this mass is not bothering p and it’s benign doesn’t need to be removed. But there is concern for other mass (ventral abdomen)-in addition to aspirate/cytology, rec mass removal and bx to get definitive dx. Also rec 3view x rays prior to any surgery for mass removal to check of evidence of metastatic disease. Rec weight loss. Dental px would be recommended, but definitely is not a priority at this time. prognosis: there is concern the ventral abdominal mass could be malignant- prognosis is open until is tested. If it is malignant and the mass is completely removed and there’s no evidence of spread to other parts of the body, the p could have a decent quality of life, but chance of regrowth is there.

A volunteer writes: Millions of dots…Yep, Rexy owns many, spread widely though his fluffy coat. He could put to shame many Dalmatians or Collies… He is the King of Spots…Rexy is at his door, ready to go for a stroll around the block. He walks at my pace, panting a little (me too) as it is so hot and we have to disclose that well, Rexy is a tad overweight…He does his business in one stop and meets properly other dogs big and small. Rexy is a bit lost, wondering what he is doing in a place that is not his and filled with people he does not know. He is a good boy, though and complies, going with the flow. Rexy comes when called, sits on command, wags softly his tail and seeks caresses. He looks quite puzzled but he is coming around as we are spending more time together. Rexy is at the Manhattan Care Center, a beautiful middle aged dog, looking for a new home to call his own and a family to love. Come and meet him soon.

07/25/2016 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type BEHAVIOR
Rexy came into our center after he was left in a friend’s care and abandoned by his owner. He was friendly and allowed all handling upon intake. Rexy held gaze for three full seconds during Look item, stress panting. He stood still and accepted the touch during Sensitivity item, ears neutral. Rexy followed at the end of the leash for Tag game, bodysoft. He pulled his paw back on both Squeeze attempts. Rexy showed no interest in Toy. The Behavior Team feels Rexy would do well with an Average adopter. Look: 1. Dog holds gaze with soft eyes, soft body. He allows head to be held loosely in Assessor’s cupped hands. Dog holds gaze for three full seconds. Sensitivity: 1. Dog stands still and accepts the touch, his eyes are averted, and his tail is in neutral position with relaxed body posture. Tag: 1. Follows at end of leash, body soft Squeeze 1 / 2: 2. Dog pulls back paw Toy 1: No interest.

07/24/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION 
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
7/24: When off leash with other dogs, Rexy offers polite greeting, then begins to wander the yard to explore his surroundings. The behavior department recommends a thorough pre-adoption interaction for Rexy due to otherwise limited information and history on Rexy around other dogs.
