Goodness, Yorkie talk is so great. Always helpful. I've just spent the past two hours in tears after finding a large lump on Corky's right side just in front of his right hind leg slightly below his rib cage. It was already late here in Paris so I rang the vet and they said if he wasn't in obvious pain I could bring him in the morning. He was PERFECT just 4 days ago and we went to the vet to get him a vaccine shot for Kennel cough (which is contraindicated for delivery via the nasal passages now). Anyway, after reading about Parkers experience in getting a lump following a shot, I'm wondering...but this is such a LARGE lump. Otherwise he is in perfect health...running, eating, drinking, peeing etc all normally. It came up in under four days. I think it is exactly where he got the shot. I'm so scared because he is 13 years old and anesthesia is tricky on a youg yorkie let alone one so old. My poor baby. What do ya'll think?
