So when she came out of her doghouse last night and when she got out of her crate this morning, her leg was swollen with fluid! As she moves around, the fluid drains! So if it happens again, Kayleigh goes for a walk or we play ball for a bit and she'll be fine quickly!

I stopped at the pet store after I picked her up and bought her some treats, a new tug toy and a fancy collar to celebrate her "it's not cancer and my Mom's not crazy" diagnosis!
I know lipomas aren't cancerous or anything, but if this new one is blocking fluid and causing swelling why don't they want to remove it?
