PT prayers still needed. Update post 137

**wolf_Q** · 03-17-2009, 12:22 AM

I'll be thinking of you and Bobby! Hopefully the lumps are nothing serious!

No real news.

The one big lump needs to have a needle aspirate and/or a biopsy to determine exactly what it is and because they don't have the facilities to do that there I need to take him back and from there he will be taken to their hospital.

As to when, I will keep a real close eye on it and, provided it doesn't increase in size, that will be when he goes for his booster shots in early May.

Thanks again to you all for the prayers & good thoughts {{big hugs}} and I will be sure to keep you updated on any further developments

Chris:
Thank you for your emails keeping me up to date on this.
I guess you could say that this good news considering what the vet says.

All fingers and paws crossed here that the big lump doesn't grow.

{{{hugs}}} Chris

Purr kisses to Ebbs and Kisses to Bob.

**sigh** Oh Bob, if only you knew how much I wuv you

Try not to worry about Bob. Duke had those lumps and Dasher has lumps ov various sizes on him. I know you will, though. Give him some hugs from me

Thanks slick & Val.

Although I don't really believe the growth has increased in size - sometimes it seems it has but I think the mind plays tricks sometimes when one is worried? Anyhow, I came to the decision that as it would have to be investigated and probably removed sooner or later it might as well be sooner. I take him in on Tuesday March 24 at 9:30am. He freaks out on short distances in a car, I hope he will be ok travelling all that way, he will be sedated though I hope. As for the op ... well, I don't have to tell you all how much of a wreck I'm going to be until my boy is back home again.

I'll be home all day on the 24th.....will call you.

**Daisy and Delilah** · 03-19-2009, 04:40 PM

Poor Bobby.....and Mom

I'll be sending out thoughts and prayers right along to help in Bob's recovery. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

I certainly understand. If I were you, I'd feel better about getting it removed, too. That's why I went ahead and had the one on Dasher's foot removed plus the vet recommended it. I hope everything goes smoothly.
