good luck for tommorrow,sending positive thoughts for your dog and you and your family
.
one of my dogs had something similar, and it was attached under his ear, and along his jaw, he was refered to the royal vetinary collage,in potters bar, and was seen by a specilaist, as my vet was not confident in removing becasue of location, slyvia glands ect, i feared the worst,and immedidatley thought cancer, as it come up overnight, and was attached,did'nt bother him in the slightest. he was kept in for 4 nights, and had to await for test results of the lump, they also found a pea size lump the day he was admitted, after a bit of a wait, my dog has a rare condition called sterile panniculitis. and any new lump has to be removed immeditaly, basiclaly my dogs first couple of layers of skin goes into overdrive mode and attacks his own body, even vaccinations were a normal dog can have in its neck, my dog has to have his yearly booster vaccination in his muscle in his back leg, if he needs anti boitics, he has to have intavenious drip in a leg and be admitted overnight, he can never ever have any needle any were along his entire back. even a knock along his back,can send his skin tissue into overdrive mode, and cause a lump to form. for my dog jasper, even the microchip his body over reacted too, and a lump formed , so he now has a warning on his file for no injections whotsoever neck/ back area.
i was just saying this as any lump we all think the dreaded " c" word. try and stay postivie, although my dog has a rare condition, its not cancer,they are tumor modules, although we have to wrap him in cotton wool some of the time, he has coped with this condition for nearly 9 years now, and he is checked daily, bless him. i could'nt be without him, he is such a sweet boy, and has coped fantastically with his condition.
i totally feel for you, and know what a worry finding any lump is, but ( fingers crossed for your dog and you
), i really hope it turns out to be something and nothing.
sending postive thoughts to you .
