Then the eye that I've had that other problem with before began to itch and I was rubbing it a lot with my paw and winking so we went back again. They gave me some new drops and also stuck a needle in my little head bump (TWICE!!!) to get some cell samples to test.
While we were waiting for the results my other eye started itching and I was now spending a lot of time with both eyes squeezed shut, a semi-permanent frown, and doing a lot of eye rubbing.
We went back straight away and got some different drops to try.
The good news is the test results show the lump is either a cyst or a non-malignant tumour - and my eyes have now stopped itching.
For now we're seeing if the lump gets bigger or changes before we make a decision about removing it. The LOTH isn't keen for me to have a general anaesthetic unless it's really necessary.
Anyway. I think I was JOLLY BRAVE through all these vets trips (although I have now got a new technique of digging my claws in to the vet's door mat to try and stop them getting me into the consulting room).
So you can IMAGINE how unimpressed I was when I saw (even through my itchy eyes) that the vet had given me a new name on one of my medications.
WHINNIE PRITCHARD!
How VERY dare she!!
On the PLUS side I was very excited and honoured today to be featured as the first home working greyhound on a great blog the LOTH found recently called How To Work From Home.
Feel free to pop over to How To Work From Home and leave a comment on my interview so that UK home workers find out how many great pet bloggers there are besides me!

Whinnie...BOL Guess that's what they should call me! BOL
Winnie we hope you are OK. My bestest pal Pippinpumpkin had a gazillion lumps and bumps as she's old and we just leave them as they don't bother her. Hope your eyes are OK now. Much love to you.
Best wishes Molly

You were very brave Winnie. Next time you see that vet, I'd pee on her foot;)
So glad the lump is nothing and that your eyes have cleared up. Hope you can now give your mum a break from worrying about you.
Great to hear you're doing better Winnie. You have no idea how many weird variations I've seen of the spelling my surname...
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
Hey Winnie!
Wow, those dogtors are rotten peeps fur sure! All that poking and prodding and needles...then the wrong name! Pththtthth to that. Glad to see those tests are okay. Healing vibes on their way to you!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
You were very, very brave!
Talk about adding insult to injury! I think that you have grounds to bite them when you go back. Just a little.
Winnie I am so glad that the bump is not serious and that your eyes are better.
Whinnie??!!! Did he think you were a horse. Glad the lump isn't serious AND your eye has stopped itching.
We hope you got some treats for all your bravery.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

Oh, Winnie! I feel horrible that you have been having so much trouble. I'm glad to hear that your eyes are feeling better. Itchy things are so annoying and bothersome. Paws crossed that the bump stays a bump. Stay well, Winnie. Whinnie...that's plain crazy. You are super brave.
Whinnie? Why of all the... That's horrible! I'd poop on his exam table for something like that.
I'm glad that you are going to be okay, though! Blueberry had a lump on her head that turned out to be cancer, and that's a scary thing.
You did a great interview, too!

Hope the lump stays the same and glad those itchy eyes are better. Vet's trips are not good, you've got it sussed Winnie, dig your claws in and have a weewee while you are there :-)
Oh my poor sweet puppy pal, I'm sending you some good healing purrs.
Glad you are feeling better. Great interview. At least they spelled your name correctly there.
Oh no! Hope there are no changes in that lump AND that you get off those meds real soon. You certainly are brave for all those vet visits!
