As I write this my poor little dog is undergoing an operation.
We took her to the vets last night as she had a lump that had suddenly got quite big.
It turned out that the lump was a cancerous growth on the mammary gland and it had become infected hence the sudden increase in size.
On further inspection the vet found another small lump behind the large one. So she stayed at the vets last night and will be operated on around about now.
They are going to remove the large lump, put her on a course of antibiotics and then remove the smaller one at a later date. They also said that it may be an idea to get her spade as well to stop any recurring growths. But we'll see what happens as she's 12 years old now, I don't know yet how beneficial it would be to her. I have a friend who's a vet so will have to see what she recomends when I see her next week. In the meantime we just have to wait and hope that she comes out of the operation ok, we'll know at 2PM.
Edited to add she is now home minus 1 yucky growth! Looking well but feeling a bit sorry for herself, which is exactly how my wallet feels as it's £201 lighter! She has painkillers and antibiotics to take then has to go back in 10 days to remove the stitches and to check on the smaller lump. Thankyou for all your thoughts.

I really do hope she is okay. It always upsets me when I read someones pet is ill, having been through similar a few times now I know how worrying and upsetting it can be. Sending lots of love X
Oooh - any news? Poor little pup - I very much hope all went well and she is now coming round and glad it's all over.
It can be such a worry when this sort of thing happens. Thinking of you all.

They do make us worry don't they, our dogs? I hope that her operation went well.
I love your fabric dogs - reminds me of the 'sausage' dogs my mum used to make me, my sister and friends. I wish I had the pattern as I'd love to make one for myself. They had a similar face to yours.
So pleased to hear that your doggie is now on the road to recovery ... a worrying time ... has she ever had puppies? .... I hope to let our bitch have a litter next year and then decided whether to have her speyed as I have heard that they can be prone to 'ladies troubles' and phantom pregnancies if they don't ever have a litter. x
Oh bless her!! You, and your little pal have been through a hell of a lot lately!! I hope she does recover quickly, and she must be so pleased to be back with her beloveds.
Hugs, and doggy hugs too : )

I'm so pleased to hear she is back home, bless her, it is just awful when your animals are sick, hugs and kisses to you and your little doggie. xxxx
Poor doggy Yvonne, but I'm so pleased she came home safe.
We had this with our dog just a few days before Christmas (she was 14 at Christmas) but she has recovered well. Infact she has a dramatically increase appetite since the op LOL
She is still old and wobbly, but much better without the lump.
(it actually burst open YUK, but made the op much easier)
Love and blessings
