I am scared out of my wits right now....

I'm not supposed to call the vet back for another hour.
Keeper has not eaten in 2 weeks, but passes feces fine.
If she's not contagious and starts eating again I will be happy....

But surgery takes so much out of them...and I don't want her wasting away...or being contagious and endangering the others....

I don't know what's right....

It's my experience that the bulge can cause discomfort and lead them to go off of their feed. Snakiepants went through a period as well in the beginning where he did not eat. After we started treatment and the lump went down a little in size he resumed eating.
Good luck...thinking of you and Keeper.

I just got off the phone...
due to several emergencies they have not started the procedure yet, and Keeper needs to stay overnight again.

I just wish I knew what this is......

I'd be pretty perturbed at that vet. Keeper is an emergency to YOU!

I hope things go well. We'll be praying for you and keeper.

I'm trying not to get upset.
The vet has a tiny staff, and a tiny place, and is hugely popular.
And it's a madhouse everytime I go there.
While I was there yesterday someone rushed in with a puppy that was struggling to breathe. And there is only 1 vet...

As it is now they are about to close.
Keeper is the last case of the day.
The solution hasn't reached the mass yet, so there are more X-rays to go.

I'm supposed to call back in the morning.....

Any news this morning?

The vet wants to do more x-rays...and a needle biopsy....and keep her another night.

I'm supposed to call back at 2.....

So far I couldn't talk to the vet. She was always in the middle of another procedure. But appts are over for the day at 2, and that's why I'm supposed to call back then...

I'm sorry it's taking so long to figure out what's wrong with her. I hope they can give you some kind of good news soon.
