Cross your paws for Kayleigh. Pics added pg2

[Glacier]

Kayleigh is spending the day at the vet again. We were in 10 days ago to get a lump under her left front leg checked out. It was just a fatty lipoma. She just turned 9 and she is a bit overweight. Instructions for that were just to watch it and make sure it didn't interfer with her movement and to get some weight off her. Kayleigh was starved by her first owner and food is a really big deal to her even 7 years later.

Last night I went to let her in for the evening and she was walking funny. Fully weight bearing, but not moving right. So I checked her over. Fat lump is exactly the same as last week, but under her right leg is swollen and squishy. Not a pulled muscle kind of swelling, very odd feeling.

This morning she had trouble getting out of her crate and was still moving wrong. I called the clinic and gave Dr. Jessica a quick synopsis. She recommended bringing Kay in right away. So I dropped her off and she'll be spending the day while they try to figure out what's going on.

I have to add she is georgous! I lover her beautiful face!

That is odd that they could not find anything,Usually our judgement is better than the vets sometimes,We know when our babies are not feeling well.

It is great news,Hopefully she was just having a bad day and this will not come back.


I am so Happy for you that Kayleigh is doing just fine~!

Oh, now it makes more sense! I talked to a vet again when I went to pick Kayleigh up. Kayleigh had two vets today! Dr. Jessica is quite right that the swelling is gone, but she doesn't think I'm just neurotic! She says that the positon of the new lipoma probably blocks the lymphatic fluid from draining properly when Kayleigh lays in certain positions! 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?

Well, the vet just called. He found another lipoma under the right leg, but he can't find anything else. The swelling I saw has gone down and he says she's moving normally. I can pick her up anytime and am just supposed to keep an eye on it. Very weird, but good news.
