Hello List, we discovered a lump on Tatty's left side (from back) just in front of her hip close to the spine, from nothing in one day it was egg sized. Took her to the vet today and surgery is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. The vet said it felt like a ..................... and its position between the skin and muscle also indicated this. However I didn't understand the ......... (due to it being in French) and I forgot to ask him to write it down so I could look it up. He said this is usually benign, but surgery was needed quickly due to the fast growth. It hasn't noticeably enlarged today and her behaviour is normal, touching the lump does not cause her pain. He said she was very young for it to be cancer (she is 11 months), but obviously this is our concern. Any info would be appreciated, though it will take a few days for me to reply as I can get mail fine, just can't send it out! Emma and Tatty in France
