Tina -- as scary as it is to have the growth checked out, you are definitely doing the right thing by having the vet check it. Prayers sent your way that it is just a harmless bump!

Oh Tina, tons of healing vibes headed your way for our sweet Jasper.

Please keep us posted.

xxxxoooo

Hey Tina, I'm here to waiting for news. Hope this new lumps is nothing to worry about. Flynny had a lot of those warty things too. Sometimes he a,so had quite hard sebaceous cysts that were fixed relatively easily. Hope we hear good news soon xxxx

I'm checking back in and waiting too....

Positive thoughts being sent from my house too.

Hugs, Lori

YOOOOOOO TINA!!!! What did the vet say?

Thanks for the support everyone, and so sorry for the delay getting back here! I ended up having a lot going on yesterday after we got back and the day got away from me. Kathy, a special apology to you, thanks for your vigilance! :)

The vet immediately agreed that this lump was something different than his numerous other lumps. An x-ray showed that it isn't the bone. It is some type of very firm soft tissue mass. She got a fine needle aspirate of some very odd looking extremely thick reddish fluid. She said it was the consistency of honey. :eek: The slide showed several different types of cells. It has been sent off for pathology/cytology, should have results near the end of the week. She said there were lots of sebaceous cells visible, but also several others. She is not super worried, but of course can't be sure. She said she has never seen anything exactly like this (great), so there is some concern. We both said, well this is Jasper after all, why would it be straight forward or uncomplicated. :rolleyes:

So I am now in waiting mode and hoping for the best. She said if the results show anything other than completely benign, it will have to be removed. Trying not to put the cart before the horse, but have to admit that I am worrying about this of course.

Jasper was wiped out when we got home. Between grooming and the vet visit, he was tuckered and slept the rest of the day. I'm sure the heat contributed also.

Thanks again for all the positive thoughts, I really believe they make a difference. Please keep them coming. :)

Hugs,

Tina and Jasper xo

Will wait with you for the results, sweetie, we are all right by your side, crying in the shower allowed if you get super worried. Waiting is so hard.
