Marl Moo (12 yrs old) is in for op next Weds 🥺
Back in April 2017 Marl had a very small lump on his back which was a very small bit of a tick left after I removed it. Didn’t realise a bit was still under his skin 😮 when he went in for his checkup nice lady vet removed it and cleaned it. But a lump stayed and started to fill with fatty fluid. Been going to vet regularly to check it and advised not to do anything as not dangerous. He’s not bothered by it at all.
So it has been growing to size of ping pong ball, soft and movable and he has been having it drained every 3 months. They advise now to have it removed.
Also about 3 weeks ago I found another lump under his jaw and he is gulping hard when he purrs and when he eats sometimes. So straight to vet. They took cell sample with fine needle and the results came back week later - non cancerous and no abnormal cells. all teeth and gums ok, no temperature, no infection.
So after a 2 weeks on metacam lump still there not grown at all.
Today after checkup for next step, he is booked in to have back lump removed, camera down throat to check all is ok and a biopsy taken on jaw lump.
Anyone had any experience of a lymph gland lump under jaw? Looking on net, It’s says there must be an underlining condition causing it but what could it be?
Vet says will take full bloods as well but she is certain not fiv or felv etc
