Will it never end...

Post by Marty »

Sorry for making a new thread, but the other topic didn't seem right.
Winnie went for her dental today, and all was fine until the Vet called me while she was still under. I knew she had a small lump at the base of her neck and shoulder area, but apparently it broke open after they brought her to the back, because it wasn't bleeding while I was there.

He said it was pretty nasty and wanted my permission to take it out while she was still under. Of course...no need to put her under again. Talked to him later and he said he had to take out quite a bit to be sure he got it all, and the incision was bigger than I might expect. He will send it to pathology.

Sigh...my sweetie!

I hope it's nothing serious, Marty, ...keep in mind that sebaceous cysts can get infected, this may be all it is...prayers it is not something else.

Hope it turns out to just be the cyst and she is ok, Marty.

Ok, hopefully it's good news.

How often is she getting fluids now? Are you comfortable yet with the idea of giving them at home?
