Help, I am so worried about my girl.....:(

[GreyhoundGirl]

I agree with MajesticCollies, in that it could possibly be a fatty tumor. It appears that your Jen is part lab? Labs are very prone to tumors and fatty tumors, so it would be the best idea to have a vet examine it and possibly do a biopsy to make sure that it's benign.
Fatty tumors are benign, but they can grow fairly large which can be quite uncomfortable for the dog. We had a dog come into my hosptial that had one the size of a watermelon!!!

Paw-sitive thoughts are on the way that you get this checked out and it is indeed benign.

**hugs**

Jenny's a Greyhound X Whippet. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, though... I don't even think she notices it. She has a normal appetite and energy level.

P.S. Wasn't going to mention it, but... I have no idea what benign means.

benign is non cancerous, malignant means it is cancerous.

I found the most recent pic of her. You can't really see it. It's on the right side,

I think it might be slightly smaller, now.



There are 3 bumps in a row,

the 1st is her shoulder,

2nd is "the bump"

3rd is her ribs

It's hard to see, but if you look closly, the left side only has 2 bumps: shoulder and ribs

My daughter's dog, Kasha, has two lumps on her chest, just under her front shoulder. She had a Vet Aspirate it( inserting a needle and drawing out fluid) and sent the findings to a lab.

These were fatty tissue deposits, they are still there, but haven't grown.

I feel consulting with your parents and/or setting up a payment plan as suggested in an earlier post. You won't rest easy until you have her checked out anyway.

I know how you feel too, I would be just as worried myself.

I hope you can find the best solution for making an appointment.
