Title: Billy has a lump but not sure if it's from his steroid jab
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on March 09, 2008, 20:42:13 PM

Billy had a steroid jab for his gums a couple of weeks ago, and I'm not sure if Sean gave him an antibiotic jab as well, as his gums were full of ulcers.  I was messing with him last night like you do and noticed a flat lump to the side of his right ear but on his neck  :-:  Could this be from his injection or is it better to get it checked out as to me it doesn't feel like a lump from an injection, but my heads not working at the mo so I'm not sure?

Modified Just looked on his bill and he had a Lincocin Injection and a Depomedrone Injection  :shify:

Not sure, I would phone the vet to have a chat about it. Best of luck and hope it clears up soon :hug:

Two weeks ago sounds too long for it to be from the injection....Good luck and hope its nothing serious!  :hug:

I spoke to Sean today and he said it's possible it's down to the jabs that he had, he said if it's still there in a few days to take him in and he'll have a look  :hug:
