poochmad Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Hi all. A lot of you know that I have been blessed with owning and loving two Field Spaniels. One the boofhead Henschke and the other my heart dog, Jindi. last year, Henschke had a lump removed which turned out to be just a cyst. This year, another lump has shown up and for some stupid reason we thought we'd do the 'watch and see'. His groomer who's also a vet nurse thought it was just another cyst so we weren't worried about it. 6 weeks later, she's seen him again and says it's changed so my husband took him to the vet on Friday. he did an FNA and said that the results showed abnormalities, that he said could be cancer, so he's booked in for surgery this coming Thursday. He doesn't want to wait because of the size of it and because it's changed. Before it was soft and squishy which is why I thought it was a cyst, but now it's harder, there is no hair over it and it's quite ugly. The vet is quite concerned and is so nice (we've been going to him for 9 years), he didn't charge for the consultation. i have to admit, I'm a bloody fool for waiting. my husband loves, loves this dog and is just devastated. I keep telling him not to worry until we know for sure. next week we find out the results. please keep your fingers, toes and paws crossed for us. Poochmad.

Kazm Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Fingers and toes all crossed. Hopefully the news is good. My thoughts are with you. Tell your husband to keep positive. Stay strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappi&Monty Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Oh that's a bit scary Hope it's just benign! I need to go get Scrappi's little lump checked! The vet nurse told us to leave it and keep an eye on it but I feel it's better to be safe then sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
