Senior Yorkie Talker | A Lump or Bone... Hey everyone, haven't been on this in awhile, Wee Chloe is coming two next month, I had her at the vets on thur there was abit worried coz she got into bed on wed nite with me and I found like a lump, but it's ,more like bone that a lump just after her last rib on the left side, when I took her to the vets on thur they said that it was probably a ligament or torn in between the rib which is like a muscle ithou they would off done an xray but they said it is normal in wee dogs like mine to get things like this... She's not in pain nor sore , and shes a skinny wee dog any how, I'm I worrying to much... Just don't think it's normal any help would be grateful x |

| I would think a ligament/muscle tear would be painful. Does she yelp at all when you touch her or pick her up? I would want a more definitive answer as to what the lump or bump is.

| are you sure its not what i think they usually call a floating rib? It can feel like a bone, but if you push on it it will move. I dont see how you would feel a ligament like that after ribs, THat doesnt make any sense to me?? Just a suggestion, i obviously am no vet. But i know one of mine had what you are describing and it was a floating rib, almost feels like a rib thats bent wrong or something? I dont know how to describe it, sorry |
