Max . Setback

[hjckcff 1,738]

my young terrier max has had a lump appear under his ear just to the back of his jaw. he was at the vets a few weeks ago and given antibiotics. this helped and all was good for a while but its reappeared with a vengeance so back to the vets and he is in for an op tomorrow to get a biopsy and remove the lump. I really like this dog so fingers crossed he is up and well in no time. without the extra head he is trying to grow. cs

in a blink of an eye he has gone from this

 

 

to this

 

 

he is a credit to his breeder. I recon so wish him a speedy recovery as I don't want him out of action to to long

he is back from the vets a bit groggy after the biopsy and another course of antibiotics and I will get the results Monday coming. there is no sign of splinters etc no damage or problems inside his mouth. the lump is a clear pronounced ball about the size of a fecking golfball. I will update the thread if and when I get news cheers.

 

forest i'm made up with this lad. will get in touch over the weekend. and credit is down to the breeding. ive just been feeding the greedy sod lol.

Good luck, I've had similar lumps taken off my old bitch and I've a dog going in on the 18th for a lump off.

My russel had a lump under his jaw from a splinter he got chewing his pen that's why I asked.

Antibiotics wouldn't make a tumor type growth shrink would they so probably an abscess ?

i'm not that clued up on this sort of stuff to be honest but I would think a tumour would just keep getting bigger. antibiotics has brought the swelling down before and reduced the size of the lump. I was thinking maybe a cyst . I should know soon enough though .

 

and cheers for the input folks

I had this with a Cocker Spaniel bitch I had. The lump under her throat was the size of a tyre & was all water filled. Draining it twice the vet took out a pint each time before opening it up to have a look.

 

The lump was probably caused by a stick injury when hunting that had gone in & out the skin without being noticed. Antibiotics & 8 weeks time returned it to normal. Hope your dog is ok.
