Little Lizzie has developed a lump in her neck area. Obviously we are really worried about it. She has been to see the vet who thought it might be an infected saliva gland. Unfortunately the antIbiotic and anti-inflamatories did no good so they took a soft tissue sample. It came back and the result seemed complicated but they didn't feel there were cancer cells. As the lump is near to the jugular they wanted more investigation so they have referred her to the Willows, Solihul. She is due to go on Wednesday so we are all keeping our fingers crossed....

Poor Lizzie at least it appears to be treatable. Hopefully she'll be very sleepy after the op and it will be you that suffers more 😟 with the overnight separation. Extra fuss for you all once it's done.

Back from the consultant vet at the Willows. He did a scan and is pretty convinced our vet was right. He says it's a leaking saliva gland. The cure apparently is to remove the offending gland so we've booked her in for the surgery on Friday 17th March. The worst thing is she'll have to stay in over night (at least one night and may be two). She won't like that - and neither will I!!

The positive thing is that the condition is treatable and once over she will be well again. Try and take some comfort from that if you can David. She will be well looked after and we know each minute will seem like forever but she will come out the other side with her whole future to look forward too for you all. We are thinking of you all.

Dropped off Lizzie at the Willows, Solihull, this morning at about 8am to have her salivary gland removed the one side. She's second on the list so I reckon it could be after lunch before we get a phone call. She will be in tonight and possibly Saturday night depending on recovery time.

P.S. I've solved the problem of the missing posts. It was an earlier thread which I started with exactly the same name that somehow emerged at the top of the list. I have now hidden the earlier thread and reposted here. Unfortunatly I can't transfer the post. Thanks Bakers2 and Rochelle for your help.

Just to update: The dog had her op yesterday. Everything went according to plan. I've just spoken to the vet who says she had a good night, except she managed to pull the fluid drain out over night. She should come out tomorrow.
