Abby update

[LuvMyAbby&Kaela]

Well she is feeling poorly Not eating laying around. But the lump seems the same size as yesterday (which was about child fist size)...but where it was rock hard yesterday it has a spongy quality to it in the centre now. So that must be good right? Almost like the tissue is done being hard and inflamed and ready to burst or weep?? There seems to be another new lump below it on her chest and I am just hoping this is another gland or maybe it is weeping downwards on the inside? I dont know what to do. If it is the same or better by 8 am I am not taking her to the vet. He gave me a 7 day course of abx...I will give it a chance unless it is dramatically worse because he said himself he doesnt like to operate in that area. Carotid artery, nerves etc,...

Oh and the thing I forgot on the other post - and why Monday was a time frame....My vet is gone on holidays - this new vet is leaving Tuesday...so that was part of it. As long as it doesnt seem worse I am not going tomorrow AM. And I guess if after Tuesday it is worse I can always make an emergency call to the other vet in that town to do the surgery.

Do you know if a rock hard lump turning spongy is a good sign?

Thank God! I'm so relieved and happy, looks like Abby is going to be fine!!! Give her a big hug for Jackdoodle & me, and then you have my permission to fix yourself a drink.

Glad to hear Abby is feeling better, hope all will keep getting better and no surgery.

So glad things are so much better with Abby. They certainly give us some major scares.

OMG-I am just catching up after being away for a few days up north. I am so releived now that I just read your latest post. I had a few minutes there though of such worry when I read what poor Abbey was going thru. So HAPPY she is feeling better.

Abby writhing around on the floor exclaiming "Glory Be!" when the thing burst (yes she is that smart and she can really speak -honest.) And Abby with her homemade pus-catcher on.
