As some of you may recall my parents have 3 Cavaliers Jake (Tri Boy) Tilly (Tri Girl) and Tasha (Blen Girl) all of whom I bred and all of whom are spoilt rotten by my retired adoring parents!!
Well Last week Mum called to say they had found a lump on Tilly's side and could I go have a look please? I went over and on her right hand side was a lump about as big as the tip of my little finger, black, a bit scaly and slightly weepy! We booked her into the vets where Tilly was prescribed Anti-Biotics and we were told to go back in a week if things hadn't changed. We were also told to starve her prior to that visit as she would be being operated on!
After a few days things hadn't changed so we starved her and she went in yesterday morning, the lump has now been removed, it wasn't deep seated (ruling out a tumour) and she has a small incision wound of about 2 and 1/2 inches.
The lump has been sent to the lab for a biopsy to be done, we believe at this stage nothing more serious than a wart, but better to err on the side of caution we think!
Here are a couple of pics of tilly for you, the first one was when she was just home and still a little woozy! (A bit cross too by the look of it!!
In this pic she has recovered just fine and was having a cuddle on my lap, well I had to see how my girlie was didn't I?
I spoke to my parents this morning and am glad to say they report Tilly as being her normal happy self with no indications of even having been put under yesterday!!
