Kirsten, I sure hope that it's nothing serious. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Luna's way.

Several years ago I also noticed a small lump while petting Sunny. I was starting to freak out when I realised that what I was feeling was his microchip. Boy was I relieved. I hope that the lump is just a simple reaction to her recent shots. Please take care.

Kirsten, try not to worry to much, please.... . You say it is movable, so the chance that it is nothing serious is real!!
Of course, I understand your fear, I would react the same way....

I took her to two different vets after work today. Both my regular vet and the other vet in town are on vacation and had substitute vets in their offices (the first one very young, the second one very old); they checked the lump but couldn't say wether it was benign or malign. Of course I know they cannot tell without a biopsy, or histology, but they told me to wait several weeks and watch the growth of the tumor. And they say that it's movable is NOT a guarantee for a benign one, so this small hope I had is also gone now.

That's all I know for now. All I can do is waiting and fear for Luna's life.

My regular vet will be back in two weeks, and I will call her as soon as she's back and ask for advice. My personal opinion is not to wait too long with the sugery, because why should you wait until it's worse? On the other hand, if it's a sarcoma, the chances aren't good anyway, with or without surgery.
