sussexpoacher 45 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 My partners lab had a litter about 4 months ago, just been giving her her weekly check over and discovered a hard lump roughly the size of a golf ball under one of her teats, it doesnt seem to be causing any pain or discomfort to her. Any ideas what it could be? off to vets tomorrow evening. Quote Link to post

shotup 9 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 could have been an unnoticed infection that has scarred the gland but i would take it to the vets they might inject pennicilin. be safe Quote Link to post
sussexpoacher 45 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thankyou for the advice, fingers crossed its nothing major Quote Link to post
sussexpoacher 45 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Update, vet drained a lot of blood out of the lump to be sent off for tests but unfortunately his initial diagnosis is a cancerous tumour so shes booked in for more tests etc, Quote Link to post
labstaff 0 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 My old lab had something similar and the vets original diagnosis was mastitis and was given a course of anti-biotics. This initially worked and reduced the lump but it soon came back. The vet decided to remove the lump and was still convinced it was mastitis but sent it off for pathology as a precaution. Results came back and it was cancer. Unfortuneatly she died a short time after as nothing could be done (sorry I don't mean to upset you, hopefully yours is something different and can be sorted). Bloody broke my heart. Quote Link to post
sussexpoacher 45 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 She`s had an op to remove the lump wich was cancerous, she has lost 3 teats but is doing fine now, lampshade is off and she is mooching around as normal. Quote Link to post
labstaff 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Pleased to hear the op went well, hopefully the healing stage will be a breeze and soon be out shooting again! Quote Link to post
