Thank you all it has been a really hard day for us today and we once again are still no further forward, my little fur ball shadow is home, vet has done lymph tests and fine needle biopsy he did not want to do surgical biopsy as he did not like look of X-rays. We have to wait a week vet says that he really is baffled with the lump and the X-ray shows shadowing but not something he has sen before, after shaving the area of the lump which is side of approx one half golf balls on his hind leg front of paw it looks very hot and red, he has prescribed strong anti biotic and pain killers for ten days and he hopes that it may reduce the lump as from the X-ray a lot of it looks like swelling with (what I hope is infection) if the anti biotic starts to reduce redness swelling then finger crossed it is not sinister so awaiting biopsy results pray for reduction of swelling and redness with the anti biotic and it may get us through this next 7 days waiting.
Because of the shock I could not think past my poor little fella with 3 legs being a terrible thing for him but alive and 3 legs is better than the alternative thank you all once again you are a great help in times of need. I will keep you all updated
Love gail & shads ( as we now call him)
