juice Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 last night i noticed my dally, appollo had a lump in his neck. its right under his jaw, in the loose skin, but the size of my cupped hand, and hard i'm sure i would have seen it before, now i'm worried its a growth, but could it be a bite? gave him a dose of antihistamine last night, but still the same this morning. given him another dose. any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Piximatosis Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Bloody Sheba! I think I paid for that holiday Zammit is supposed to be good, the people at Sydney Animal Hospital (Norwest) are also good but will charge you an arm and a leg. That was where I took Kaeleigh first off with her lump. And yep, I'm going, with Holly & Desmo. Would be great to see you there and catch up again?

Danois Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've been put off by Sydney Animal Hospital - bit like a bulk billing medical practice there. If you can travel - go to the Lane Cove Vet Clinic - they will look after you! Angs had a huge lump the other day - suspected bite but when we stuck the needle in and drew a sample it was an abcess. If it is an abcess then the worst it will do is erupt outwards through the skin but best to have it drained and anti-biotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 thanks, won't be going near the animal hospital again, he's already been, had blockage on a bank holiday, and only place open, they were rubbish, and it cost me $2,700 it has definatley only just appeared, its really big and solid, i would have felt it before i'm sure :p just deciding where to go, may use the dch vet at quakers.

stormie Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I used to get Blair from Quakers Hill Vet out to see my horse when he was living out that way. He was really great and they were very reasonably priced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danois Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Juice Angs' just appeared suddenly too - in about an hour I reckon but his was a little squishy because it had not built up by that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenWei Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Lindsay Hay and co up at Baulkham Hills Vet are good as well if you wanted an alternative. Hope he's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamuzz Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Lindsay Hay and co up at Baulkham Hills Vet are good as well if you wanted an alternative. Hope he's ok. You know I also vote for them. I know they are "expensive" but Zammit isn't any cheaper. Edited March 21, 2008 by kamuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 update. lump went down after a few days, had been to see blair at quakers hill ,who thought it could have been a salivary gland, which he had knocked.he said it should go down, it did. but 2 days ago it started to get bigger again so this morning we went back, it is the size of my hand, and had started to seep blood. he took a needle to it, and lots of blood came out, but not oozing gunk or anything. so he is going in tommorrow for surgery to see what it is. he seems to think it could be a grass seed which is causing a problem, or done damage bit worried for my big man, just hope its ok when he opens him up, he hates the vet and cries the whole time he's there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embellish Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I was thinking abscess, probably from grass seed, but you have to be sure, good luck for the surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
