Samantha has had a lump removed

[Karen]

Thank you all for your good wishes for Samantha. The vet called today with the biopsy results. The lump that was removed was a tumour, but not malignant.

Yay, glad to hear it!

Sweet Samantha, we are all so glad that all went well and the news from the vet are good.
Tell your daddy that many people have had benign tumours removed and are not the worse for wear
But you may use the mood he's in to get you more treats.

Great news! Sending best wishes that the other lump is simple!

This is wonderful news. I too hope that her other lump is just a reaction to an injection. She sure is being such a good girl about everything.

Samantha has had her stitches out and is very happy to be rid of the cone. She is slightly less pleased to still be taking antibiotics, but tomorrow is the last one.

When she was at the vet to have her stitches removed, she had dropped a bit of weight. Probably not surprising as she was quite lethargic for a week after the operation and didn't eat very much at all. They would like to weigh her again in a couple of weeks. In the meantime we will keep an eye on the lump between her shoulder blades, and if it is still there the vet can aspirate it when we go back for the weight check.

Samantha thanks you all for your good wishes. x

I just got the one photo of her with her cone on -

Chances are that Samantha lost weight b/c of wearing the cone. My Yodie would hardly eat while wearing hers b/c she had a hard time maneuvering and b/c she was depressed. As soon as that cone came off, she started eating regularly again and now her weight is back to normal. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Good for her that the nasty mean ol' cone is off, though.
