Well actually i brought him in today b/c he has this little lump on the side for a while. - it was "fine" except in the last wk or so it started to bleed - and it just wouldn't heal / stop! so today I bring him to the vet and see if there's anything can be done.
The other reason I take him in is b/c he has been quite aggressively lately - I'm not sure if it's still b/c of moving to the new place (but it has been almost 3 months!?) or whatever the reason.. i just feel that he's not "normal" / happy lately?!
OR, just that i never have a chance to spend more time w/ him until recently V_V~~~
anyway, so the vet said Elvin may suffer from anxiety - it's NOT going to be cure by itself - only get worse if neglect the illness!?!? The vet suggest to start the medication right away and gave him 2-month supply of Clomicalm. He emphasized it's for temp only and not a permanent solution.
er.... i just know now there's actually medication for dog's emotion problem *LOL*
anyway so I started Elvin's medication once got home and he seems "calmer" - wait, i don't want to "calm him down" b/c he's hyper or anything?! V_V anyway the vet said the first few days Elvin may feel more drowsy. I also read some of the info from the web and feel better (er, at least it's FDA approved!?)

The vet also said that the little "lump" is a common skin problem, one shouldn't worry about it UNLESS it starts bleeding (Oh great V_V).. what we have to do is to have "a small surgery" to take it off, maybe a few stitches @o@
Since we've to put him to sleep in order to do the "surgery", the vet also suggested to wash his teeth as well, Oh, and along w/ a regular blood test (b/c he's over 8 years old)...
sure sure.. just get to the point that don't wanna miss out "anything" - just do everything in ONE SHOT and make sure he's all OK - before it's too late...
I think I start getting the anxiety from him already X_X haha..
Well, for sure it'll be a 4 digit bills waiting for me! (OH NO!!) well, just hope it's not MORE than 4 digits @_@'
Afterall, it's my son, he's snoring now so I guess he'll be just fine real soon :)
