I Don't Believe It

Just got back from the vet (again) with Lou.

I noticed a lump on his shoulder this morning and thought it was an insect bite. The lump is about the size of a golf ball. It didn't seem to be hurting him and he isn't limping so I went to work fully expecting it to be gone when I got home.

No such luck, it was just as big, if not a little bigger.

Off to the vet we go. Vet seems to think its an abcess from one of the anti biotics he was given after his desex infection. It has apparently only shown its ugly head now as he is off medication.

So more pills and possibly another rupture to watch for. Vet seems to think it will just go away again.

Certainly hope so. Just hope he doesn't go down hill like last time.

Poor Lou he's really had a tough time since the desexing Give him a hug from Miss Noirty and hope he is better very soon. Did you go back to the same vet just out of curiosity or source a new one??? Please let us know how he is going. :rolleyes:

Poor LOU - he IS having a bad run - hope you have changed vets!!

I did go back to the same vet just in case it was still complications from the desex. I am glad I did really as I don't really want to let this vet 'off the hook'. But i have sourced another for any future issues.

I have also been informed by another lab owner that her lab had the same lump come up on her dog after a course of anti biotic injections and her vet said that it can happen and that it would just re-absorb.

He is not bothered by it at all. He is still on oral anti biotics just in case its an infection. I will keep a close eye on it and return to the vet again if I am not happy.
