Hope your doggie pulls through it all. Not much we can say, it does hurt though, lost my first dog of a tumour before he even got to 2

awww buddy, my heart goes out to you. I have an akita, which is 8/9 years old. The breed only lives to 10 or 11 so I know that I too will be going through some nasty times soon. I love my boy, and I will be heart broken.

Fingers crossed your one has a positive operation and has a few more years !!!!

Let us know how it goes matey.

the vet thinks he's got it all and she has to go back on saturday for a check up and then the 12th for her stitches out she's a brave doggie i know that she can't lie down properly because she has 1 on each side of her body and one on her chest

its not quite the same, but i really see what your going through. mine and natalies pet hamster, henry (her idea) has an awful lump on his mouth, and is actually going under anestetic tomorrow morning to have it drained.

it could be a tuma, a spot, an infection allsorts. little guys 11 months old and only cost us a fiver, but shes been in tears tonight a couple of times.

little russian dwarf hamster. even im a little worried to be honest.

best of luck anyways steph

andy and nat

Stephb1986

Well a little update from earlier we've fed her and she scoffed it like she normally would so thats quite good she's managing to get to sleep but having so sleep sort of propped up. I'll post a pic tomorrow of her my phone is playing up

As my first pet i had a russian red dwarf called hami only had him a year and he got a tumour and died on me i was so gutted ive had a million since then and still got attatched to them that my mum said i cannot have anymore pets

I hope henry is alot better tomorrow it upsets you with any animal even hamsters to fish

just a warning to everyone please please check your pets for lumps and get it seen by a vet it was lucky we found this one in time or it could have been worse.

Kay sends a lick to everyone to say thankyou

fast little buggers arent they. its nice to see kays cheery still. lets see if it is as serious as first thought. with a bit of luck it wont be...

ive said to nat, if henry dies tomorrow, we'll go straight to the pet shop and get a couple of syrian dwarf hamsters as a couple. but she doesnt know yet im calling them "boost" and "turbo"

I spent a weeks wages on of one mine, then went to ask how much the biopsy would cost on top....

To be told it was only a fatty lump.... liposuction on a dog !!!

And she's still fat and happy !

Dunx

Good luck and try to enjoy the good times, been through this a few times as I'm very old now....

P.S. I said never again, 'cos I couldn't face walking out with just a lead, so I left it for use with strays etc. Within a week I was buying another (two !)

Tam the bam

The fact the Vet operated on her gives hope Steph, as you know my dog had Cancer and was too far gone/ too old to be operated on and he had to be put to sleep in January I'm sure the op will sort her, so chin up babes, I'm sure she'll be fine

All your pets here are rooting for her too

Tam x

Stephb1986

I hope your looking after all my other pets Tam

She was really lucky ive been obsessed about her fatty lump for months but no one listened but when i found the new one we knew something was wrong and they actually listened! she's still got pain killers in her till tomorrow so i guess we'll really know how she it in the morning

Atleast she's still here to climb on my bed for the next few years, im letting her sleep in my room tonight

thanks for all your support

Know how you feel Steph. My dog had a lump for years (we got it checked out as soon as it came up but vet said it was nothing to worry about). Anyway is started to get bigger and another little lump appeared. The vet recommended it was removed. She was 13 at the time. The day she went in was the worst day of our life. She is now 15 and no more lumps and she is still going strong.

Thinking of you both xx

That sounds promising Steph and I wish you and Kay all the best. Hopefully she makes a full recovery.

Stephb1986

Well this morning she looks like she's in a bit of pain so i've give her some of my leftover cereal from breakfast and then we've give her a normal pain killer in a cadburys caramel square, she wolfed them down and im putting her back to bed now. I work from home so im with her all day

Shes not stupid she knows if she limps a bit and moans now and then you'll give her food and attention I love dogs

Sorry to hear about her but hope shes making a good recovery and will be OK.

Dogs are right little actors though - ours could model for RSPCA abused dog posters when she goes into a huff because you wont let her do something like bury the remote control or eat cat poo from the garden.

Another get well Kay from me

We had our Boxer in the vets around 8 months ago to have 3 lumps removed from his head. He had one from a puppy but it just got bigger and bigger and another 2 appeared.

Luckily turned out to be cysts - he looked a right mess for a few weeks though,head shaven and lot's of untidy stitches.He literally looked like he'd been in the ring with Nigel Benn !

I'm sure all will be fine but like has been said,keep us informed

Leslie

Its a terrble worry of course Steph, sorry to hear about it but its good news about the appetite. Hope all goes well on the check up.
