Yes, that's Dot lurking in an old poster I made. The vet called the other day with the results of her biopsy and as I knew, the mass was malignant. However, I was told it's a slow progressing type and not the sort that is apt to spread to other organs. It will occur, but it will do so slowly. She isn't in pain. I asked how it was possible for it to have grown in a couple of hours and was told that it IS NOT. What most likely took place is this....the mass was growing inside her nose. Dot had a cold and when she sneezed, it caused the tumour to protrude and become visible. I'd not heard her suffer from breathing issues, though.

I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteIn a way, it's better then what I thought, as the vet said it wouldn't spread to other areas. Given her age, she's had a good life and she isn't in pain. It's slow moving, so I hope for the best.
