Beecher has a mass on his left side. It has come up very quickly and I am very worried. He is his same old self and doesn't seem to be in any pain. He has a vet appointment at 2 pm. Sad

Hopefully it's only a fatty bump and nothing to worry about!

I was at the vets all afternoon yesterday. I brought home a sleeping greyhound as to get a picture on his back he had to be sedated. I could not get him in the house so I had to sit in the car with him a couple of hours till dh came home. My vet was on vacation so we had to see someone else. I don't know how much experience she had but she was telling me they had 7 greyhounds at her vet school and she loved the breed. When she gets a house she would like to have one. Beecher has this large mass on his left side right at the last rib. It looks as if it is growing from the last rib but of course rays only show so much. She first did a fine needle aspritate and got mostly blood. She did tell me it felt boney. They did a senior blood panel and took x-rays on the mass and the lung. You can see the mass and it did not have the lacey appearance that bone cancer has. The lungs are clear. The vet said that it was in a weird place. The fact that it came up so sudden is a concern. I still don't know anything. I will wait for the blood work to come back and for my vet to get back from vacation before I do anything else. The good news is that Beecher doesn't seem to be in any pain. Pressing on the mass brings nothing. The mass is large 2 1/2 inches X 1 1/2 inches. Beecher had lost 5 pounds since his last visit. I had noticed him losing some weight and increased his food about a month ago. I am so worried about my Beecher boy. Not sure what to do. Sad
