I took Anna back to the vet today to discuss her progress on prednisolone. The vet wants to leave her on 5mg/day until she finishes her doxycycline for tick fever. While there, I showed him a purple lump on her chest. He said it is a mammary tumor and will need to come out. However, we can't do anything until she is well again.

I'm a little stressed. To be honest, I'm not sure if I will ever feel comfortable letting her go into any kind of surgery. It is hard to describe how terribly ill she has been during the past few weeks. We finally have her back to normal. I feel like we are going to lose her. So, if anyone has had a girl with mammary tumors, do they have to come out? Will it hurt to wait for a while?
