Sending some more good vibes and am sure Bonnie will be fine

Good luck for today I am sure Bonnie will be fine and it's only a fatty lump
Sophie had a big one removed at 16 and is fine
Smartie had one removed too and it was nothing either
Better to have them gone so they don't turn nasty

You're bound to worry and no amount of telling you not to will change that! But I'll still tell you to try not to worry too much! I'm sure it will be nothing and she will be absolutely fine.

It's natural to be worried as you love her so much.

If you fancy meeting for coffee or lunch somewhere quiet on Monday send me a message.

Hi Mary,

You could also ask for a tin of AD wet food to bring her home with, if they have it. Hi calorie, great post-op food. Great for a recovering patient![/color]

Thanks Liz. So her usual Gourmet and Dreamies are not good enough?

Hi Mary,

The price they're quoting seems really fair. If she's 13, and you're happy to, I'd ask for her to be put on I/V fluids. It helps the anaesthetic, help the kidneys etc, and makes for a faster recovery overall for the older cat. They will no doubt keep her on the fluids the remainder of the day so she'll get the full benefit. I know at my mid-priced practice they charge clients £50 for I/V fluids, so it should be cheaper where you're going, plus you'll get your discount. It's really nice of them to offer instalments... not many vets do!!

I am sure she'll be absolutely, 100% fine

I've nursed 20 year old cats, and they've been fine under anaesthetic! It's really good that she has no underlying health problems, too. You could also ask for a tin of AD wet food to bring her home with, if they have it. Hi calorie, great post-op food. Great for a recovering patient!

I know she'll be fine... and the lump'll be nothing to worry about, I'm sure. The op won't even take long... so her anaesthetic'll be quick.

Have a relaxing weekend with the lovely Bonnie...

Liz x

Thanks everyone - you're all saying exactly what I would be saying to one of you and I know I shouldn't worry. I know I'll be in tears when I leave her on Monday cos I used to cry when I left Smudge at the vet just to have her teeth cleaned

Liz I was going to PM you so thanks. She is 13 and I got her from RSPCA when she was 10, she'd been with them for 9 months as they removed her tail and gave her treatment until she was able to be fostered - I failed asa fosterer after 4 days and adopted her

She also had to have lots of injections to make sure the scabs never came back - so I was backwards and forwards for over a year - fully clean now, bless her.

The vet that comes to the RSPCA have a surgery near the RSPCA and as they did her op and looked after her for 9 months I will be using that vet. They are also knocking me 20% off - I've already been told it will be between £130 and £150 minus the 20%. They even said I could pay in instalments. I have a Bonnie account in my drawer so I'll be ok.

Thanks again everyone - knew I could reply on you lot

Mary and Bonnie

as has been said,the vets wouldnt have been happy to wait if they were concerned it was something sinister. impossible task as it is, try not to worry- Bonnie wouldnt want you distressed

All fingers & paws crossed here at Chez Daisy for Bonnies recovery Mary.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #11 on:** June 23, 2011, 16:23:57 PM »

Pointless telling you not to worry because I know you will, but as far as the op goes I'm sbsolutely positive she will be fine. As to the lump, as has already been said, by far the most likely scenario is that its nothing to worry about. But look at it this way, even if it is something sinister she has a far better chance of full recovery if its removed while its small.
I will be thinking of you both on Monday and sending lots of positive vibes.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #10 on:** June 23, 2011, 15:08:31 PM »

As everyone else has said, try not to worry hun, I'm sure the vet woldn't have said it could be left if there was any chance it could be a nasty.

Take care and know that we will all be thinking of you and Bonnie on Monday xxxx

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #9 on:** June 23, 2011, 14:30:44 PM »

Ooooh such a difficult one this Mary

Both our Gandolf and Tommie had lumps as they got older. I decided not to bother having removed just kept an eye out for any changes and to make sure they remained moveable rather than fixed. They were no real problem although think they were a little uncomfortable if I picked them up squishing the lumps

Their lumps were however on the sides of both puds and think maybe I'd also be inclined to go for removal if it were one of the girls and lump near a nipple but that's just me being a typical girl worrying like hell just coz of where it is

I've had a lump meself in that vicinity and ended up being nowt ta worry about

Will be thinking of our gorgeous girl and her worrying ma next Monday

Sorry to hear Bonnie has a lump Mary, please try not to worry too much

MarleyMoo · « **Reply #7 on:** June 23, 2011, 14:08:35 PM »

Mary,
I'm a vet nurse and see lots and lots of ops like mammary lump removals and mammary strips. In dogs and cats, these lumps are common, and nearly always nothing to worry about. They always take wide margins when removing them, too. If you're overly worried, ask the vet to send the lump to the lab for histopathology. That way you'll be happy in your own mind when the results come back.
I see things day to day with client animals, but when it's your own, it's a different matter! And lumps... we always assume the worst when we feel a lump, but most animal lumps are nothing at all, just lipoma's and cysts. Is Bonnie an older lady? If so, as the vet to put her on I/V fluids, too, as it will help her recovery hugely.
Do try not to worry (I really do understand how hard it is!) but I am sure she'll be absolutely fine

Liz xx

Oh Mary, I know it is so much easier said than done but please try not to worry

maryas · « **Reply #5 on:** June 23, 2011, 13:12:01 PM »

Thanks guys

- I know I'm probably worrying for nothing but you all know haow much she means to me after loosing Smudge.

Gill, Eddie did say 'to have it removed and see what it is' so I presume they will do tests or whatever - not had anything like this before so no idea.

She was so good bless her she laid down for him and not a murmer out of her. she had a fuss of him and me and some Dreamies in her carrier on the way home.

Mary

Mary - Am sure the vet would have said if they thought it more serious - but that does not stop us from worrying over our babes

Sending lots of good vibes for the beautiful Bonnie for her op on Monday and for you too

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #3 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:57:33 PM »

Ohhhhhhh Mary, I am sure she will be just fine, it may just be a fatty lump but best gone wnat ever it is and as it doesnt sound like it has grown that must be good news

Are they going to have it looked at after removal to make sure its known its OK ?

Loads and loads of good luck to Bonnie on Monday

Dawn F · « **Reply #2 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:55:59 PM »

oh Mary hun, if they are saying you could leave it its probably nothing to worry about

maryas · « **Reply #1 on:** June 23, 2011, 12:54:19 PM »

I found a lump next to her nipple about 5 weeks ago and forgot all about it until last week when I felt it again.

I took her to the vet this morning nd he said it's a mamary lump - as she's having no problems and it's not got any bigger he said I could leave it or have it removed. I went for removal - so I take her on Monday at 9.00 a.m.

I'm so scared she will hae cancer and I will loose her, can't stop crying.

Mary
