Guest pax Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I don't often roll Lilly (old, 10+) over, she is stiff and doesn't like it. This morning I put my hand under her to lift her up to brush her hips, and felt this. I have no idea how long she's had it. Less than two weeks. I can feel it all around, that is, it doesn't appear to have any neck, I can feel underneath it, it seems to be in her skin and is not attached to anything. On closer examination there is a discoloured spot which is slightly hard about two inches from the other one. It's hard to see in the pics but it's definetly there. I am waiting for the small animals clinic to open and she will go asap but if anybody's seen anything like this before I wouldn't mind knowing about it. Thanks.

nancy Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 The first one you describe (the 2nd photo?) sounds like the fatty deposit Fergie has. I even had the vet aspirate it, while Ferg was out for teeth-cleaning, to be sure. They say it's nothing to worry about, especially where it is and because we keep checking to be sure it isn't altering. But I'd worry about the second on (top photo). Glad you're heading to the vet for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiegirl Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Have the vet look at it. If they've been doing this a while, some a pretty good at eyeballing growths and having a good idea what this particular type is. Keep us posted.

Guest pax Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yup, we're on our way, I'll let y'all know. This poor dog just can't catch a break, she is constantly having some issue......eyes, heart, legs, bumps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pax Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well, he said if it was his dog he'd take it off and have it analyzed, but he's pretty sure that it's bad news. I am, too. We won't know the results for a few days. Poor Lilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc friend Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm a big believer in keeping positive thoughts. It looks like you caught it early and with malignancies, the early they're caught the better. Several of my pets over the years have had malignant lumps removed w/good outcomes and hopefully Lily will also. She (and you) will be in my prayers - please keep us posted.

Jack & Co. Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Pax, I'll keep my fingers crossed for good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Oop Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thinking positive thoughts for Lily. I hope all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Watch Debatable Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm holding good thoughts, too. Give Lily a pat for me all of us. (For what it's worth, my first border collie had a malignancy removed from that area as a nine or ten year old. She lived to be 16 [and died of pancreatitis].) Please keep us posted!

sea4th Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Oh crap. I was hoping you'd return with better news. OTOH, my old Tibbie had some mammary tumors removed a couple of years ago. She is now 13 and doing great. I recently felt some more on her, but do I want to put her through another surgery? No. She's doing well right now and that's all I care about. Lily will probably come through like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexie Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Molly is crossing her paws for a positive outcome for you both. Sounds like you caught it early and have at least decent chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pax Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't have the results back yet. The stitches are in good nick and there doesn't appear to be anything eelse going on in terms of lumps and bumps. Thank you for asking, as soon as I know I'll post. I'm hoping today.
