Squeek, the super mutt is OK! She doesn’t have cancer. She doesn’t even have a tumor. Turns out it’s just inflammation. The vet said it’s from an insect bite or spider bite but not from a bee sting. Maybe she took on a yellow jacket? No idea. But she’s OK and that’s the best thing in the world.
Oh, Rachel, I am so very happy for you. I was very worried as it looked pretty angry to say the least.
I was praying and trying to send healing thoughts for Squeek and all of you, as I know how you feel as I have been through many a medical issue with my pets.
Have a great week and a sigh of relief. All I ask is please send warm weather, I am very tired of snow and cold…
You know, Rachel, the week after I heard about Squeek our dog got a big hard lump on his tum. The vet gave us antibiotics and some cream first and said we'd do a biopsy if it didn't go away. We're still waiting to see – the bugs must be out already though!
@Denimflyz, I'd give you warm weather if we had some! It's not snow-cold but it's not warm either.
@Nicole, I'll send you good thoughts that it's just a bug bite as well!
That expression on her face is priceless! "My dad's a little silly. But that's okay!"
Great news! I was wondering how she was, but didn't want to bug.
Yay, Squeek! It can be a harrowing experience indeed when you think a pet has cancer or a tumor. Our oldest cat had a cancer scare recently, but they think it was just an infection. We're still not quite out of the blue, but more than likely she'll remain a happy, healthy cat. 🙂
Awesome! Thanks for the update!
Oh thank goodness. I've been thinking about your puppers everyday. So glad all is well!!!
Good lord. That's terrible bedside manners to even suggest a tumor with a possible bug bite. On the brighter side, it is a relief to know that little Squeek is fine!
So glad your pup is okay (and that must have been some bug!). Sick dogs with a scary diagnosis are the worst… I spent an unthinkable amount on emergency surgery for my last (non head-butting!) dog, because what else can you do? It was horrible. So glad you just have a funky bug bite here….
