    Unhappy Poor you!

    I really hope it is nothing serious and that the treatment she is on will work.

    I would have thought if it was anything bad that she wouldn't be eating and drinking as usual though?

    Take care x

    Thanks for your concern Liz ,Dealus has had a "pillar to post" upbringing and only recently has had a place she can call home,we're rather fond of her now.
    The dogs has alwas had a small appetite and in my opinion is too thin, its
    just a worry that its going to cost alot of money to fix

    Aaaaww poor Dealus!

    Does the PDSA 'operate' in your area as they will may help with the bill but only if you are on certain benefits I think?

    Really, really hope it's nothing bad!

    There's no PDSA in our neck of the woods think the nearest one is Inverness.

    The vet's pretty understanding and I'm sure will let us pay it up in installments.

    I'm terible I've already gpt worst case in my head.

    It just sometimes you just know.

    For once I'm praying my instinct is wrong.

    Glad you have a good Vet. It would be worth contacting the PDSA anyway.

    I know how you must be feeling having had animals all my life and dealing with health problems along the way.
    It is such a worry!

    I very much hope your instinct is wrong and that it is something like a cyst.
    Even if it is the dreaded 'C' word there is every chance it will be okay.

    Take care xxx

    Cuddlepop,

    You have my greatest sympathy with this.

    We lost our lurcher to cancer in the throat 5 years ago. Looking back, all the signs were there but we didn't realise until it was too late.

    It sounds as if it is cancer, hopefully, you've noticed in time.

    thank you Northener,the vet hopes its just a cyst and the antibiotics will shrink the growth but so far there's no great reduction.

    She's only four which makes the possibilty even sader
