Annoying couple days over here. We decided to get in for blood work and subsequent "skin tag" removal/biopsy for Snoop. Not really concerned for his overall well being, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a little bit of squamous cell involvement. Either way, it'll involve day surgery. We'll bring him in the morning and anticipate an afternoon pickup after they put him under for the procedure.

Then today, we realized there are 4 staples left in Brutus. I saw the outline of them today and they're definitely staples when you press on them. That area of the incision was very much folded on itself since it's such thin skin (it was the only way to do it without the skin ripping), and now that we're like 2 months out, the incision is starting to flatten out and unfold which is pushing the staples to the surface. The problem is they're completely healed over. So this will also probably require general anesthesia and some sort of incision to dig them out. Fiance is taking him to the vet this afternoon for a plan.

Annoying. Expensive.
