I'm so worried about him. He has a hard lump the size of a tennis ball seemingly attached to his ribs that has grown rapidly over the last few weeks. He has had a mast cell tumour removed from his ear three years ago too which had some malignant cells.
Just before this lump appeared I took him to the vets as he was drinking an excessive amount of water. Blood tests showed nothing out of the ordinary, but the lump has appeared since then, like I say. His water habit has calmed right down too.
Anyway, I am rambling I know, but I love my handsome, ultra cuddly, fantastic with my children dog and I am worried he has something really serious going on.
The lump couldn't be aspirated - the vet tried for ages with no success whatsoever, so rather than him having an op to biopsy then one again to remove we are going straight for lumpectomy.
Has anyone got any positive stories of sinister seeming lumps being completely benign? I'm worried as he will have to have sections of rib removed too. My poor baby.
