Jessie has a lump on her back.

[ScreamingMeemie]

Jessie is our two year old Sheltie that I talk about kind of incessantly here. ;) Anyway I was brushing her and found an olive sized lump on her back. She has had sebaceous cysts before, which is what I am hoping this is. But this one does not have a head on it so I don't want to pop it. (Which is what the vet told us to do) Anyway, she goes in at 4:30 today to check it out. I'm just asking for some positve, let it be an oil pocket vibes...Thanks :hi:

1. Good wishes for Jessie!

What a beautiful Sheltie. We had one that lived to be about 14, I think. Boy, he was an exciteable thing. I miss him though.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. She can get pretty excitable, plus she's a drama queen.

She busted out the insert in our screen door with her in out in antics yesterday. That and if you walk too close to her and she feels like you haven't given her attention, she will yelp like you have stepped on her.

Thanks! :hi:

[Kadie]

3. She is Beautiful!

Positive vibes coming your way!
:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Thanks Kadie! Love your kitty pic!

:hi:

4. Most of the time lumps like that are just fatty deposits.

Usually nothing to worry about. Hope that's all it is.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Thanks Rebel. That's what I think it might be. But the vibes in the

Lounge always seem to help! :hi:

5. Jessie will be fine!

Just tell her to quit chewing on my newspaper! :o

What a beauty!

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Then pay some attention to the poor thing Zomby!

Thanks, I get so uptight over all my kids, the furry ones, the human ones..the grandchildren...;)

[Zomby Woof]

16. plus, raising me on DU can't be easy!

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. ...and then there's that...

:loveya: I wouldn't have you any either way!! Okay, well...maybe...:evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

24. put that jello away!

Really! There are puppies and children present! Some modesty would be in order.

[bubblesby2002]

40. You have grandchildren?

I can't believe that, you look so young. ;)

I am sending along all my good special thoughts and vibes to Jessie. (By the way I love that name - if I ever had any kids, the first one would have been Jessie)

Good luck.

[Zomby Woof]

51. she has tons of grandkids!

She even has a bowl of mints on her coffee table all stuck together... :o

6. Good lookin' dog..

We have a 14 yo Norwich with a similar lump on the rt shoulder that turned out to be a lipoma. We had it removed because it was uncomfortable for her but they're not dangerous.

Hope all goes okay.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Thanks bill. What is lipoma? This runs right on top of her spinal

column. :hi:

[demnan]

8. What a lovely dog!

I hope it's nothing serious.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Thanks demnan. I am pretty sure it is not, but I wanted a pocketfull

of lounge vibes to take with me. They've worked every other time! :hi:

[BlueEyedSon]

9. Could just be a fatty deposit

they happen and are harmless... good luck!

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Thank you Blue. This is what I am hoping for!

:hi:

[ewagner]

19. Good Vibes for Jessie!

She's a beauty. I hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Thank you e!

Jessie thanks you too. She's busy shredding appraisal reports at my feet.

[ewagner]

32. I just ran over

an appraisal report with my office chair.......

that sorta sucks........

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Heheh...I do that a lot too. Glad I am not the only one.

:hi:

[DoctorMyEyes]

20. How odd... we're going to the vet for the same thing today

Our dog has a big lump on the side of his face. It just showed up yesterday and we thought we'd give it a day to see if maybe it's just a knot from banging his face on the corner of the wall. (He's clumsy like that)

But, it doesn't look any better today. :-(

Let's wish each other good luck and good news at the vets.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Best of luck to you and your doggy. Let me know how he does.

And I'll keep you posted.

[DoctorMyEyes]

27. Thank you Mrs. Grumpy

I will keep you posted as well. I guess we're both feeling some anxiety this morning.

[thom1102]

21. you got it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~+++++++++~~~~~~~~~~~~~~++++++++++~~~~~~~~~

(positive vibes, get it?) :-)

25. Got it! Thanks thom!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Thank you nuxvomica.

:hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Aw that face!

C'mon Jesse..let's have it be a doggy zit!

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. Thanks nsma!! She's not acting any stranger than she normally

does, so I am hopeful. ;) She is a teenager so....

[UrbScotty]

31. Good luck!

vibes...vibes...vibes...

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Thank you thank you thank you!

:hi:

[DoctorMyEyes]

35. Update: My "boy" has an abscessed tooth

Absess? Neither spelling looks right. $400 dollars, medicine and a tooth cleaning and all is well here!

Still have my fingers crossed for you and Jesse today, MrsGrumpy!

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. Phew! I am glad he's okay. The whole time we were at the vet I was

thinking of you two. Poor little guy. Give him puppy kisses from Jessie. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. ****Update****** Jessie has what amounts to as a giant zit.

Phew! The vet said she's kind of young to be getting them already, but that it's nothing to get to worried about unless it get's infected. So she's fine, weighs 25 pounds and got her heartworm meds. I spent 1 hour brushing her today just to have the vet tell me I should "brush her more often" :eyes: hello? It's muddy out. Again, thanks all for your positive vibes...they worked, just like they always do!!! :grouphug:

[latebloomer]

38. What a relief!!

Have a happy weekend!

[RebelOne]

42. I am so happy for you.

What a relief that must have been. So brush, brush and brush some more.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

43. Do I win anything? I got it right!

YAY!!! Jesse!

[nuxvomica]

45. Hurray! It's not something serious!

I know what she's going through. I had the same thing when I was her age (in human years) except it was on my nose. I hope it doesn't embarrass her. You know how proud these Shelties are. ;-)

[DoctorMyEyes]

46. Oh that's great news!

I'm so glad that it was just a doggie pimple. She sure is a pretty girl!

And much more *petite* than I had imagined. 25 pounds? My dog weighs more than me! LOL It's a good thing he's so sweet. If we crossed my cats personality with my dogs physical presence.....well...I shudder to think about it!

:hug:

[SW FL Dem]

39. Sending our good thoughts to you and Jessie

Hope it's just a lipoma (benign fatty tumor). Please keep us posted.

[Mz Pip]

41. What a cute critter!

Sending good thoughts to Jessie. :hi:

[Skittles]

44. wow

she is truly a purty thang. :D

[SarahB]

47. I hope everything turns out OK.

:hug:

[arewethereyet]

48. a continual problem with improperly bred purebreds

hope the dog is OK

[roguevalley]

49. some breeds grow cysts. My dachsies do. they are usually fatty and

benign but you must always have them checked. Lovely little doggie you have.

[arewethereyet]

50. yup, common complaints among a number of breeds

certainly doesn't effect the animal but it is unnecessary if bred properly

[mvd]

52. Positive vibes coming your way, MrsGrumpy!

Trying to send them as strongly as I can. :hi:
