Scraps has been having a few abnormal growth in his skin in the past weeks. There are a couple of spots on his head and some on his legs. Since he was born with beautiful fur, even small hairless spots are very obvious. We finally got an appointment with the vet and took him in for a check-up today. Dr. Kraemer said it's histiocytoma, a benign tumor. She prescribed some liquid medication for the bigger one on his leg, and some ointment for the smaller spots. It will probably take a few weeks to heal.
We boarded him at Bark Chicago during Labor Day weekend, so the doctor said that might probably be what caused it. This is just our second time boarding at Bark Chicago, and I'm never boarding Srappy at that place anymore. There seem to be poor management and sanitary issues. The first time we tried this place was during our wedding, and he got kennel cough :(
Hope my baby Scrappy feels better soon. He weights 72.8 pounds today.

Thanks! I was nervous to find out what it is, but now we know it's not a big deal. The infected area already looks a lot better!
