Worried

[Kiia]

I just noticed this bump on Teeko's inner left leg before. I'll have to call the vet to make an appointment tomorrow. But it's got me worried. :( It's about the size of a large pea, not extremly hard but not too soft either. He doesn't seem to be in any pain, he doesn't whimper or tend to it, and if I touch it it doesn't seem to bother him either.

None the less, I am still concerned for my boy. :(

Oh, I know how upsetting those lumps and bumps are:( I hope it's nothing more than a sebaceous cyst; it looks like one I had removed from my girl awhile back. I know you're so worried, but try and think positive. Please update us after the vet visit. Lot of prayers on their way for Teeko!!! {{HUGS}}} Sandra

I will be sending lots of good thoughts your way.

I hope it's just a cyst! Good luck and let us know what happens!

[LorraineO]

could even be a fatty lump.... Stay relaxed as possible,, let us know what the vet says!

[Kiia]

I have an appointment today for him just after work.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

This might help a little with the worrying ;)

Jasper had a bump alot like that on his chest, here is a picture:

It never bothered him at all, he had it removed and tested and it was nothing!

I hope Teeko's turns out the same!!

Keep us updated :)

[Kiia]

Well they took samples of it and placed it on slides. The samples are on the way to the labs to be tested. She told me they will call me within a few days with the results.

Until then, keeping our paws crossed over here. I'll let you know when I hear back from the vet.

I will pray for a good report on Teeko's test results. Let us
know what the Vet finds out, o.k.?

My Peach used to get all kinds of bumps like that. When we had them tested - they were nothing. But I do understand your worry. Praying for good news.

I'll post here as soon as I hear from them.

Any news yet?:)

[Kiia]

Nothing yet dogs_4_me.

The waiting is so hard.

I just checked my answering machine and the vet called back!!

The bump is BENIGN! :D She gave the medical name for it but I couldn't make it out. She said it should go away by itself within 3 months and if it's not gone then she suggests we have it surgically removed.

I'm wondering if it's nothing, why do they have to remove it? Just curious is all.

Thanks for all the support! I am VERY happy now and can rest easy. :)

[LorraineO]

Fantastic news!!!!

[cloverfdx]

What great news :). I am glad to hear it is benign, i will keep Teeko in my thoughts and prayers that the lump goes away on its own.

[snappy]

They remove it because it could cause a problem if Teeko were to scratch it - kind of like a wart.......I hope it goes away all on it's own!

Thanks guys. :)
