Great news!
Biopsy came back and doctor said it's a granular something something infection........ NOT a tumor!
Vet suspects that Flopsy sustained a puncture wound that became infected. She has been on antibiotics since Monday and the lump has gone down by more than 50%. Only thing that concerns me is that Vet said if it doesn't resolve with antibiotics, she may still need surgery to ensure that whatever punctured her is not still in there. Hopefully that is not the case. I am going to continue with warm compresses, as I figure it can't hurt and could help. And the dog doesn't seem to mind them at all, I think it makes HER feel better too!
Thank you to everyone for your kind words and well wishes. |
