Oh golly I'm so sorry to hear about the lipomas. Both my labs, currently it's only Sarge, had/has them and our vet always called them "fatty friends" when she saw them pop up. I can't speak on the lipomas but I can share my story about needing your dog to lose some weight. My dogs were overweight by 5-7 pounds and my vet recommended that they both lose weight before it got out of hand. At the time I was feeding them kibble and my vet suggested I started feeding them half of what I was giving them for each meal twice a day. Well I did, and they quickly disliked it. They gobbled their kibble and were still hungry. I felt so bad! Then the two labs got creative, as you know that labs can be. They got into cabinets and started stealing food where before they did not. Then I friend of mine pointed me to raw food. I read on it extensively & decided to try it. My pups lost weight and for us the switch to raw food has been such a great decision because other things like allergies and a rough coat got remedied. I know raw food for your pup isn't for everyone and if you do decide to do it do your research. Good luck with the lipomas. I truly understand the quandary and sending hugs your way!
