Sometime early last year we took Samantha to the vet with a lump on her side. As the vet was manipulating it, it disappeared. Over the next few weeks it would come back, and diminish as we manipulated it. Around Autumn sometime, the lump did not disappear as it was manipulated and when we took Samantha and Jessica for their annual check-ups in December we asked for the lump to be aspirarated.

Although it still looked like a cyst, a lot of blood came out, which can be indicative of another problem, and the vet was keen to have the lump surgically removed and send it for testing.

Samantha had the lump removed this week and now has a cone on her head, poor baby. She has to go back for a check up on Saturday and hopefully the results of the biopsy should be back.

In the meantime, she is being an awfully good girl with the lampshade on her head, and taking her antibiotics. She is a complete sweetheart!
