Mikey's Lump

Mikey's lump continues to annoy me, but as you can see from the photo of a muddy Mikey taken on the mountain today, it's really not restricting his life style at all. We are not sure if it's growing now or not, at least we are not seeing it grow at the speed it was a few weeks ago. Last week we decided to measure it, not just the distance side to side but taking the raise of the lump into account as well. We need to be aware if it's growing upwards as well as spreading outwards. I make it 7.5" x 6.5" - possibly about 4.5" x  4" in distance across his body. I will try not to measure it again until next Friday, then it will be a week since the first measurement!
We are having a training session in the field tonight and a couple of people will be here who have not seen Mikey in over a week, their opinion will be useful. Seeing it all the time doesn't really help and we have 2 weeks till the next vet visit. Here's hoping the people who see him tonight will now see an improvement since the last time they saw him eh!
