We found out that our sweet heart Lilly has a tumor on her neck. The preliminary results show a thyroid tumor but we are not a 100% sure. Our vet Dr. Bobo wants to refer us to a specialist to have it biopsied to find out what kind of tumor it is. The sad thing is we took Lilly in for her skin allergies and then he finds this mass on her neck. Because Lilly is over weight you can't tell that she even has this tumor. The place that Dr. Bobo wants us to go to was kind enough to tell me that most of the times these tumors are cancerous. We just lost Guy not even 7 months ago and now we are faced with another medical issue with Lilly. We love our animals just like they are one of our own kids and I dont' know what I would do if I lost another animal. Right now we are weighing the pros and cons and see what the best solution is. Fortunately, the cost is right up there with the decision process and if we did biopsy the tumor and found out it was cancerous then your are faced with what to do next. I will keep everyone posted on her condition. Right now she doesn't show any signs of being sick, in fact she shows opposite signs. She is eating just fine and definately not losing any weight. We will make the decision as a family and go from there. Its just not a decision I thought I would have to make any time soon.
