I just checked my answering machine and the vet called back!!

The bump is BENIGN! She gave the medical name for it but I couldn't make it out. She said it should go away by itself within 3 months and if it's not gone then she suggests we have it surgically removed.

I'm wondering if it's nothing, why do they have to remove it? Just curious is all.

Thanks for all the support! I am VERY happy now and can rest easy.
