Well yes to another test - "fine needle aspiration" and the cytology report. Univ of Guelph pathologist has the fluid, hopefully today maybe late day I get some word on it. Both vets (gp's) took smears and looked at the cell and there are present unusual looking cells that they saw.
Dr Jack thinks there may be a secondary infection going on, so to be on the safe side he prescribed the antibiotics.

Thank you Kristin. I'd love it if they took some of the swelling down!. She was quite uncomfortable yesterday. Dave is staying home with her today. I think I might wash her beard and face, and then I'm going to remove her beard. I'm going to see if I can get her neck shaved-I do have a #40 for my clippers. This way everyone can see more easily around her face/neck head. And less hair, less heat. Poor baby is panting so much. Right now our immediate concern is to make sure her airway stays open.

I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this and that your baby is sick. I pray that your fears are eased and that your baby gets well.

Thanks Lisa. I'm going to try as well today, to put the special pack on her I had made for Magic. See if the cold pack will bring swelling down in lymph nodes. Plus it might keep her a bit more cool.
Ps: she did like the Reiki and fell off to sleep quite quickly
