My 2 year old Jack Russell has been unsettled lately, restless and itchy. Since moving to a more rural area 6 months ago he is picking up all sorts on his walks. He has frontline pro on.
Last night I noticed these lumps on his Scrotum. Seems to be licking them a lot and sitting down rather than laying down. does anyone regognise them as anything in particular ? The soonest vets appointment I can get is Friday and I am beside myself with worry!

I can't help but am just replying to bump this for you.

I am also thinking how grateful I am for my own vet, who has always been able to fit us in the same day if that's what I want.

Sorry no idea, but that's pretty unusual for a vet's practice! I am normally offered either a same day or next day appointment even for routine visits. I'd ring back and stress that it's urgent. If he's in obvious discomfort they should fit him in asap.

I think I would be phoning back as well, even just to get on a list for cancellations.

Thank you. I’m on the list for cancellations and they have said to call back if he stops drinking or seems in pain. I know dogs are pretty good at hiding their pain but he just seems to be intensely itching and licking- would I be unreasonable to call back and say I think he is in pain?

Well if you are unreasonable to do that then I have been unreasonable on many occasions Grin.
