Today I noticed that Inka was very lethargic. When I scratched her chin, I felt a small "lump" there. 2 Hours later, the lump had doubled in size. This scared the hell out of me! My husband is out of the country for 2 days, so I have to get through this on my own.
I called the vet at 3 pm, and got an appointment at 4 pm.
By the time Inka got there, the lump had doubled in size again
The vet took her temperature immediately. Oh my gosh, Inka was fighting this VERY hard. After this was over, we noticed blood on her right paw: Inka bit in her own lip ....! Poor girl
The verdict was to leave Inka behind at the vet's, as this had to be operated as soon as possible
At 9pm, the vet finally called me to tell me what happened. She shaved Inka's chin,and tried to puncture that thingie. Then she had to sedate her completely as it would be to painful otherwise...!!! Oh man, I am always so scared when she has to be sedated. Due to her damaged brain, she reacts very weird when she wakes up: she is shaking all over.
But it all went well. The vet was able to empty that lump. It was FULL of yuckie pus...! She must have hurt herself lately, and that scar didn't cure at it should have. She rinced the wound and will do it again in the early morning. I may go and pick her up around 10 am.
Please pray with me that she will be okay, and that this thing doesn't come back....
Poor girl, she must have been in lots of pain... . Thank God that I noticed this in time!!!
