Hiya,

Am popping out for a little while now, so thought I'd best give you an update! Well, thankfully she seems a lot brighter! She's stopped shivering/shaking and has been playing by herself with her toys. I've given her a tiny amount of moistened kibble. Mum has cooked some chicken for her, which I'm going to collect shortly and give her at some point this evening so long as she stays bright.

Her ear still looks (and smells!) horrible. Hope the vet has a good solution for it tommorrow. She shakes her head a bit and sometimes scratches it, but doesn't seem to be bothering her too much thankfully.

I get soo worried over it all - I've had a raging headache all day!

Thanks for all your kind messages, its very much appreciated!  :luv:

Sorry to read your posts about poor Rio, Holly. :'(

I agree; the lump does look like a hystiocytoma but hopefully tomorrow your vet will be able to advise you & put your mind at rest.

I do hope Rio soon recovers. :-*

Forgot to post when I got back earlier. I opened the door to find the bin knocked over and a j cloth shredded ALL over the floor. It didn't matter at all, I was just pleased to find her happy and well! We weren't out long, but we spent the time saying "do you think she's okay?" "do you think we can go back to Rio now?" etc! Her ears are even smellyier and she's shaking her head but its not bothering her too much. Will let you know how she gets on at the vets.

Thanks again for your lovely messages  :luv: - it really is appreciated.

We have had a couple of dogs with histiocytoma's on the outside of their ears and within 3 weeks of twice daily applying grapefruit seed extract they had disappeared....I wouldn't recommend GFSE for Rio as hers is someway actually in her ear. Good luck at the vets..

Hi Every1, its Rio here!

Thought I'd better reply as Mummy so tired out with all the stress Ive caused her ova the past few days!

Well, I went 2 the doctors this morning, and the lady said it was almost definately a Histiocytoma - so well done COLers! She'd never seen one in the position I've got mine - typical!  ::) Anyway, she said to leave it for a fortnight wen it shud drop off, but in the mean time to apply antibiotic ointment. So, Mum and Dad will have to put up with Miss Smelly Ears for a bit longer!!! If it duzn't go, then I'll have 2 have it taken off.

My tummy is better now. Mummy sez its cuz I'd probably eaten manky stuff in the garden - but you know I wudn't do anyfink like that dont u!

fank u all 4 your kind messages  :luv:

lots of love and slobbery kisses, Rio x x x x

Glad Rio is OK -  that lump looks nasty  :embarassed:

She sounds very good that she will let you clean it not to mention keep still long enough to take photos - Blue would have totally freaked out  ;)

- I have to say, she has been a little star, letting me look at it and clean it (anything for a biscuit!!  ;) )
