Dbg, Pepper is gorgeous
While Barkley (my Springer) has never had any limpomas that size, he did have one in the same place as Pepper, as well as beneath his armpit. They were large enough to cause him trouble when running and playing so we decided to have them removed, and he came out of the surgery just fine!
You're right about the ear infections, they are quite common in Springers - more so when they swim a lot.
for Pepper!
