Well, since agility last Wednesday Luke has been on strict restrictions.  He stayed with my parents pretty much all weekend while I was doing my horse thing and they were told that he was NOT allowed to play, no matter how much he begged.  It seems like they did an okay job and things were going well.

 I kept Luke on aspirin through Wednesday for agility.  I decided that it was probably not in his best interest to jump, though, since I still don't know what's going on with him.  He ran with Foley, the mini Doxie, at 4".  I didn't push him over the contact obstacles -- I just let him take things nice and slow so as not to strain anything.

 During class I noticed that the bump on Luke's inside right hind had changed.  Previously it appeared to be mole-like in appearance, but Wednesday night it had grown to about 5x its normal size and was red and inflammed.  Ack!  That's weird!  One of the vets from where I take Luke is in our class and I asked her to look at it.  She didn't have any ideas, but suggested that it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a biopsy.

Well, yesterday morning it had gone down vastly in size, so I kept putting off calling to make an appointment.  Last night it was large and inflammed again, though, and now he doesn't really appreciate me messing with it.  I called this morning and am taking him in at 3:30 p.m. to have it looked at.

I think I'm going to try to pull him from our trial next weekend and see if they will let me transfer our entry to the next show.  He's just not himself right now and I don't want to push him to run six classes a day if he's not feeling his best.
