Dre and I just got back from taking Moby to the vet. He was going to have surgery on 5/5, but we noticed this big bulge, like a tumor, on his side. We thought it was his faulty kidney getting bigger, so we took him in. However, it turned out to be just a fluid filled sac under his skin. Nothing to worry about, but the vets are going to do his surgery tomorrow instead.

The vet said that had we not discovered this kidney defect now, Moby would have started experiencing signs of kidney failure at about age three. I still hate that he had to get hit by a car to give reason for his abdominal xrays, but glad we're getting this taken care of ASAP. It ain't gonna be cheap, but he's our pup, and we'd do anything for him.
