Title: noki's lump Post by: Nokithis on May 09, 2008, 12:34:36 PM today i was looking at noki as i was distributing treats and i noticed that she was "thick" under her right arm. i checked it and sure enough there was a lump the size of a pea. it's loose under the skin...i can roll it and move it around with no reaction from her. she's eating well, playing, drinking, and her lungs are clear. noki is 2 years old now and she's going to go to the vet next week.

The good thing about it not feeling like its attatched to anything is that it will be really easy to remove. |
