Earlier today, I went to the vets with Dinosaur about a problem that he has been affected with (apart from breathing) for some years.
The vet did what she needed to do, and seems to think given the symptoms Dinosaur suffers from, that he has something called “Hidradenitis Suppurativa” or HS for short, a particulary nasty skin disease of which there is no known cure.

I wonder if Fat Arse had something along the same lines, as he had times where he enjoyed pain free periods of health followed by bouts of agonizing pain with abcesses on his legs which required draining and constant care. The discharge from this wounds would be very smelly and often be very bloody.
