Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Hot diggity dog! That would be Molly. LOLOLOL It took one day of napping, a day of hubs and me being at the office and molly having her own chill time and wala, she ate her food just like normal. A bit in the morning, finished up when I came home from work and then had a bit more for dinner. Total about 1 1/4 cup just like normal. I'd say she is back to herself :) and I'm happy of course, and what does my husband say, I never thought there was anything wrong with her. I'm like are you crazy, she didn't eat more than an 1/8 a cup of food for 2 days!! sheeezzzzz
She just likes what she likes and doesn't really adapt to change all that well I guess. Nerves I suppose.
Awww, thanks Susan. I try, I don't always accomplish but this forum is pretty important to me, the people and their furbabies, you just want them to all be the very best they can be, however that is. We have a really awesome team of moderators and administrators here. I think some of the best on the internet. :) (disclaimer, totally biased opinion). ROFL!

hugs, all

So, Molly has an appointment at the vet. She has a rather large lump under or near the right rib cage/belly area, if you are looking at her. I'd say inch or more. I can feel it, it is mailable. So, I want her regular vet to check it out and if any question as to what it is, then I'll be asking for another ultrasound. It could be the liver has also enlarged more, or lymph nodes, which were also enlarged. I don't think you can feel the adrenals. It could be a simple lipoma too, but it doesn't actually feel like one, so I don't know. I've read many vets diagnose something similiar in written description as a fat tumor, but I would need to be convinced as I've read that is an initial diagnosis that can be a mistake.

She seems to feel fine, so we'll see. I'm taking her in Friday afternoon to have it looked at.

Oh Sharlene,
Please keep us posted, will ya? Hopefully it's nothing, but always better to check it out. That's for sure! Our babies can be so worrisome at times.:o Good golly, Miss Molly, what are you scaring your mom for? Are you getting back at her for allowing that rugrat into YOUR house? None of that will be allowed Missy!
Big hugs,

Hopefully it's just a fat deposit Sharlene.
Crossing my fingers!

Hope Mollys appt goes well, oh for normal days...hugs

Hi Sharlene,
Glad Molly is back to her usual self! She's like Trixie-happiest when the her world is unchanged! :p

Trixie has one of those fatty lumps too. It has not changed at all since I first felt it in May. We go to the vet the week after next for the complete blood work and check up. He will look at it then but of course it worries me!
The lump seems to not bother Trixie at all. I can push it and kind of move it a bit and she doesn't even blink. Hope that's a good sign.
Always seems there's something to worry about.
Hoping Molly's is nothing but a lipoma!!

Hi Sharlene. I hope those lumps are just fat deposits. Keesh actually has 3 almost the size of half my fist, but I'm told they are nothing to worry about.
Glad to hear Molly is feeling good.
Good luck on Friday and I'm thinking about you.

Sharlene,
Now you have me worried about Boriss as well. I wonder if I should push more?!?
I hope Molly's lump is just fat like I think Boriss's are. I am pretty sure Boriss has one close to the rib/belly area as well.
These lumps scare me cause I don't want to dismiss them as nothing & then the next thing you know the vet made a mistake. I am going to have my IMS take a peek at Boriss next time he has a stim test which should be next month.
Good luck today & keep us posted.

Sharlene and Molly Muffin
will be praying for you.
