Update on Jada's lump

[lisaly]

There is so much love surrounding Jada here on YT and by her family and so many prayers. I believe that they will help Jada to heal quickly. Your little girl with her yellow stuffed baby has touched my heart. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Hopefully it is just a fatty lipoma and then the bright side will be that it caused her to get her dental before she ended up with more trouble there.....

Could you tell if it was hurting Jada when you touched it or anything? Does the vet have enough knowledge to know if it was fatty tissue or not? I would ask him that..that is does he think it was fatty tissue and how many of these has he seen, that is can he make that kind of call on it?

I have a fatty lipoma on my collarbone. So, hopefully that is all it is and she has grown so has it. My experience is that it has grown over the years, but they few times I have asked the dr they insist that is all it is. I made them do an ultrasound on it and they stick with that diagnosis. I have no idea why they don't want to take it off, but it's been many years and if it WAS cancer, I'd be dead by now. It has grown as I have grown fatter. It is between the size of a large grape and a small egg..(the top half only, who knows how deep it is, only the top half sticks out and it doesn't hurt. I should have had it out years ago, but they told me it would leave a scar. I didn't care enough to follow it up and see if that was true. Now it has grown so I'm sure it would be a scar. Luckily it pretty much falls right where a tank top covers it.

I hope that is all Jada has, or a simple infection, maybe she had a tick or something that never got all the way out and it got infected. How old is she and did the vet look at her teeth at her last check up? I ask because I'm curious how much we can really tell by looking and sniffing, and at what age to get a dental even if all looks and smells well.

We will know in a week to 10 days if it was cancer and he removed the surrounding tissue so hopefully if it was cancerous he got it all.
Dental was a shocker too...she had two loose teeth ready to fall out and one in the very back that was abcessed. No bad odor in her mouth and we do brush teeth.
Pray that she heals quickly and it isn't cancer.

Oh Michelle....I'm almost in tears here I know how much this is ripping your heart out to see you girlie like this....bless her little heart! Oh...these sweet babies should never have to hurt...it's just not fair

Sending continued prayers that the tumor is not cancer and Jada's recovery and healing will be smooth. Please give her soft little kisses from me & Zhoie.

Got on here just to check on Miss Jada. I am sorry the sweet baby had to have surgery today, but am glad to hear she is back at home now. Thank goodness you got her in to see the vet quickly! Jada (and Bogie too!) is so lucky to have you as her mommy. We'll keep you and our sweet girl in our thoughts.

Praying for Jada!

Michelle so happy to hear your baby came out of surgery with flying colors. It is good then you had the dental as well! Also it is good the vet took wide margins on the mass, as if this ends up as cancerous there is a good likelihood all was removed.

Another long night for us, but no matter we do what we need to for our family.

Michelle, I am just now seeing this. I have been so busy around this house, spring cleaning and running with my boys lately, and haven't been on YT much. I am so sorry to hear that poor little Jada's going through all this. I'm sure you've been a worried mess. I will keep you guys in my prayers. I know Jada will be just fine. Prayers for good news and a speedy recovery.

Keeping you and Jada in my thoughts. She is home now with her Mommy and she is in good hands!

[BabyGirl Rosie]

Our vet said it looked very odd to him and he didn't speculate as to whether it was a fatty tissue. He said it was very distinct and white in color. He has done these surgeries before and said not to jump to the conclusion that it was cancer, that it could have been deep tissue trauma (when she fell off the arm of the loveseat a few weeks ago) that had abscessed and became hard.
As for her teeth..she had a dental in October of 2009 and was checked last May when she had her annual and was ok. He did say that her mouth is so tiny that it is hard to get the brush back in her mouth far enough when I brush her teeth. I talked to Lisa (sugarmamma) and Sugar has a tiny mouth too and she uses a sonicare on her. I am ordering one to start using as soon as her little mouth heals.

Hugs and Kisses foe sweet little Jada
