Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?
Earball?

Thanks for the hugs and thoughts!
I broke down and called:) And I am glad I did.
He is awake and pacing in his run. (which means he is back to normal already).
The vet is sending the tumor off, and with the holiday, we are not sure when we will get the scoop on it.
The vet said it was very large and they are unsure if they got all of it, but they got most of it. It was just really deep.
they say it was about the size of a quarter.
So, the plan is to see what the lab says on it and go from there.
So thanks again for all the good vibes. I will keep you updated.

Yes–that's what I do, too--sometimes they get so busy, that they forget.... I'm surprised to hear the tumor was so big....did your vet say how long it usually takes to get results back (when it's not a holiday week??) Just because it's large doesn't necessarily mean anything negative. I'm hoping everything will turn out just fine!! Give little Squiggs a hug and kiss for me.

That is what happened, they just got a bit busy and ended up calling later- Even after I called to check on him.
I went on my lunch break to see him and he was doing well, but I decided to go back after work to take him home. He ended up scratching his stitches and bleeding a bit.
But the good news is he is doing fine now, at home. He is a bit irritated with his stitches, but doing just fine. He played with his rawhide before laying down to chew on it, which made me smile to see him being normal.
My mom is sending her b to my Grandmas house tomorrow and taking Squiggy to hers so that he can relax and be supervised. **I love my family.
She even sent over some leftovers tonight for dinner–-for Squigs, not me :p
The vet only charged me around $154, $70 of that was to send it off. **love my vet too.
We should know something in about a week, maybe sooner.
Thanks again everyone for the support, I will keep you updated on his progress and prognosis. -
I'm glad to hear Squiggy is doing fine and getting lots of TLC
Do you have him in an E collar so that he can't scratch at the stitches? -
The vet had me try this "new amazing e-collar" it is made out of cloth and is suppose to be easier on the dog.
Well Squiggy either flips it backward so it looks like a shirt collar or the shakes his head really hard to try and get it off.
I cleaned up the blood that had matted his neck scruff and it seems to be helping. He is a pretty boy and doesnt like to be dirty:p
I am waiting to hear from my mom, squiggy was at home for 2 hrs this am alone. -
Hi Everyone,
We got the results back yesterday. The "earball" was benign!!! The vet sent in about 1/3 of it and it came back as not abnormal.
The lab really didnt know what it was they guess a "possible wound reaction", but they did say that there was nothing cancerous or fungal.
I need to go pick up a copy or have them fax me one.
So, thank you everyone for you thoughts and kind words!
It seems to have helped:p -
Yay….Fantastic news!!!!
-
GREAT news!! Now you can go back to enjoying your furbaby with no worries!!!!
-

Now Squigs is spoiled and wants his "special" treat every evening even though we are through with the pain meds (wrapped in cheese).
