POOR MONTY

[Shazza]

Fingers crossed for good news on Friday

How very worrying for you.

I have no experience of anything like this so can offer no advice etc, but I really am thinking of you and Monty, and hope that the results are much better than you fear. Do let us know.

[Lumi]

Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Hope it goes positively for you both.

Thinking of you waiting for the test results, hope it is good news.

I am overwhelmed by all these kind thoughts.  Don't know why I stayed away so long!  Thank you so much.  Monty is still very bright and taking advantage of us all being extra tolerant of his cocker ways (ripped into a bin bag last night and helped himself to some left overs!!!! ) I went to tell him off - spotted the lump and just couldn't....which pleased him no end!!!
His appointment is Friday morning - so will update as soon as I can.  Thanks again - EVERYONE

Welcome back to COL

All fingers and paws crossed here that it's good news for you and Monty tomorrow 

Glad to hear that his cocker cheekiness hasn't been affected though!

Hope all goes well tomorrow

Thinking of you and Monty tomorrow and hope it's good news.


We had a similar thing happen with Nell my Lab earlier this  year, an enormous lump appeared under her throat which was massive and rock hard, she also had one  on her face.

The vet took biopsies and it turned out to be a infection caused by a foreign body.

Fingers crossed that it's good news on Friday.

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow, will be checking in tomorrow to hear.

I'm so sorry to read about Monty's lump & really hope you get good news from the vet tomorrow.

I understand the worry you're going through as one of my labs developed a lump on the side of his face which had spread from his soft palette & was therefore inoperable.

Thinking of you & Montyx.

It's amazing what they suddenly get away with when they're poorly!!

Parker has been getting away with absolute murder for the last few weeks!!

Fingers crossed for you and Monty tomorrow.

We took Monts to the vet and we were told that the results weren't in yet (thinks they'll be in on Tuesday) But I am thrilled to say that this time, after examining Monty he was a lot more positive.  The lump has got smaller (I had thought this, but banished the thought as just wishful thinking, if you know what I mean!)  He said that if it were a tumour, it's "unlikely it would have reduced in size" - and that he is "more optimistic than post op". So - though we are still not sure, I feel a glimmer of hope. Monty is fine in himself - hogging more than usual because of the medication (didn't think Monty could ever be hungrier than he usually is...but he is!!!) - So - keep 'em crosed and I'll reinform you all on Tuesday.  I feel like cheering!
BTW - thanks again for your support - priceless!

Great to hear positive comments from your vet Jen, here's hoping for the very best outcome for Monty. At least you may be able to relax a bit and enjoy your weekend.
Be sure to let us know on Tuesday

I'm really pleased to read your last post,Jen, as the fact that the tumour appears to be getting smaller is very positive.

I didn't want to go into details when you first posted as you were obviously very worried & the last thing you needed was a Job's comforter but my labs tumour was actually a fibrosarcoma which was malignant & far from getting smaller it grew huge very quickly & eventually got to the stage when we had to have him PTS.

Once again I'm really glad that Monty's outlook is so good & I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you for the results on Tuesday.
