Hi there, thanks so much for your reply. I am SO sorry to hear that your Roxie had cancer, so sad
I have been worrying myself to the point where I havent been sleeping at night. He is roughly 6 years old my little Teddy, he had his dental work done here they extracted quite a few teeth and then scraped and polished the remaining ones, they gave him anti biotics and painkillers after and before he had his dental done, I pointed out that he had been at his bottom quite a lot of late and they discovered he had a burst anal gland abscess on the right gland. Before that it would have been an infection. After tending to that and doing the dental work, they put him on a 7 day course of anti biotics as mentioned above, his bottom has cleared up fine, but he's still got these noticeable lymph nodes on his neck under the jaw. After taking him back to the vet to have this checked out, she said the glands were not up any where else on his body and it was confined to his neck only. He is not coughing, has a huge appetite, is energetic and loves his walks and overall appears happy and healthy. I am taking him for a biopsy at the end of this month if they are still up. Can you tell me how they biopsy the neck glands and also the speed of the deteriotion of your Roxie when she was diagnosed with cancer. I really am sorry for your loss
Thanks so much for replying xxx
