When "Bobby" went for his routine "short
back and sides!" he got more for his money from the
groomer than he bargained for! Whilst attending to his usual
bouffant hairstyle "Tina" his regular beautician
made her routine inspection of his testicles! Alert to the
possibility of testicular cancer "Tina" made her
findings known to "Bobby's" owners who had previously
been totally unaware of any clinical problem.
What "Tina" had noticed was a marked discrepancy
in size between one testicle and the other. This is often
the earliest indication of cancer long before any specific
lumps are appreciable. As a result of her dilligence we
were able at Fairfield to remove the cancer hopefully long
before any signifcant problems were encountered.
Regular examination through grooming is an excellent way
to ensure that any changes in coat condition or any new
lumps or bumps are identified at the earliest possible stage.
This gives the surgeon the best chance of success when dealing
with cancer or any other clinical problem.
I am about due a haircut myself
.......................now where is "Tina's" number?
