: Sophie needs surgery....
: Rachel January 24, 2007, 02:54:03 PM
So last week I found this tiny bump on the inside of Sophie's elbow.  It just kept getting bigger and bigger so I took her to the vet today.  She said that it is a mass and they need to remove it. So they are doing surgery so they can biopsy it to figure out whether it is malignant or not.  Her surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday.

My poor baby...   :'(

OH PUPPER!  i'm sure you'll be just fine.  most lumps are benign. 
Best of Luck and don't think the worst.

I  can relaate and Magic can relate to Sophie,we went thru this several mths ago several times.The 1st time there were three lumps and a few mths later there was one.

Hense our New Years resolution NO MORE LUMPS!!!!

I won't say don't worry because I know you will,but most of the time they are benign, only one of Magic's was suspious and the vet got good margins around the whole thing.

Log on on Tuesday and we can all keep you busy, till it's time to pick her up.

Sorry to hear you have this worry - we'll keep Sophie in our thoughts, and pray that this is nothing but her way to get liposuction!

Thank you so much everyone!

We're definitely keep all our fingers crossed that it turns out to be nothing.  This is the first major thing we've had to go through with her.  The entire time we've had she has been so healthy.

I'll definitely keep you guys updated.
