Eli's teeth are doing well, still need continual clipping and probably always will, but he's doing so great, growing lots and chubbing up! It wasn't Eli who was choking last night, it was my bigger boy, Echo. Just when I was bragging about how he's a year old already and has never had even the slightest health issue lol.

I just found two, very little, hard lumps on one of my older boys back. :( Wondering if they could be cysts or the start of tumors? They seem to be painless.
 
Where exactly are the lumps? Most tumours are painless when they're small, so that alone doesn't narrow it down. It could be that they're abscesses as well. You can try doing warm compresses to try to get them to come to a head (not likely since they're on the back and won't drain) or you can have them aspirated at the vet to get a better idea. At his age, abscesses are the most likely but they could be anything.
