A couple days ago we discovered a small lump on Mollie's tummy. I took her to the Vet's office yesterday and the technician felt that the Vet should look at today. Mollie happily walked into the office. Initially, the Vet thought that Mollie had been shot by a BB gun because the lump was small and hard. I assured her that Mollie does not go outside without one of us and that no one heard a shot. The next course of action was to make a small incision to look at the lump. This revealed a small hard mass. The Vet felt that Mollie should have some minor surgery to excise the cyst. She also suggested that we send the cyst off to a pathologist for a biopsy, which we did.
We picked Mollie up three and one half hours later. Her tail was wagging but she was a bit unsteady on her feet. Once we got home she immediately went to sleep. She is not allowed to play for 7 days. That's right.... no fetching or running around. It will be interesting to see how she/we manage that direction. We should be hearing back about the biopsy results in 7-10 days.
Oy.
