Noticed his fur had fell out and he had a scab on his side today so took him to the vets and he thinks it could be a tumour. He picked the scab off it and there is a lump underneath. He tried squezing it but no pus ect. came out. There is a hole from where the scab was. He was trying to think what it could be and the only thing he can think of is a tumour. He is on antibiotics to see if it is an infection but if they don't work he will be gettin surgery to remove it. He is only 9 weeks and been at the vets 4 times already :(
 
Oh no, sorry to hear that. One good thing is his age chances are its not cancer hope the meds work and try and stay positive. x
 
Thanks. Hopefully antibiotics will work. He just came off of them about 2 weeks ago. He is still eating fine and putting on weight. So at least it isn't affecting his apatite
 
oh nooo sam :'( poor little guy :( hope the meds work and that he doesn't have to have the op :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
(((HUGGLES))) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :-* :-* come on little guy! praying for him :-*
 
hoping sam gets better and the antibiotics work for him, hoping he is on a probiotic too to protect his tummy unless he is too young for them. sending hugs and cuddles to you and sam :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-* hoping he gets better and won't need the surgery. keep us posted. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
awwwww poor little Sam :'( :'(
Sending healing wheeks and loves from us both :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
I'm sure the meds will help him O0
(((((((HUGS))))))) for you too love :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
is he having a probiotic? Thats probably a good idea ;) how is he this morning? ((HUGS)) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
My internet has broke so at my dads using his. That is why just updating on him. Ye he is on probiotic aswell. Mum thinks the lump has grown since last night. It doesn't feel attached to anything. He is stil eating fine and everything. Hopefully it won't get any bigger. The leg where it is growing is the leg that he always stretches out. He is at vets on Tuesday but if it keeps getting bigger will get him there before that.
 
good that he is on probiotic ;) awww i hope it doesn't get bigger :( Hope you get on well at the vets :) ((HUGS)) You know where i am if you want a chat ;) :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
sending sam hugs, cuddles and prayers that it doesn't get bigger :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-* hoping all goes well at the vet. pleas keep us posted and good luck with your computer darn things :tickedoff: :tickedoff: :tickedoff: more trouble than they're worth sometimes. good luck. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
how's he today? hope he's getting better :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
It doesn't seem to be any bigger today. He is stil lively and eating. Hopefully he won't need to go back until Tuesday.
 
oh yay glad it's no bigger :) it's a good sign that he's still lively etc. yeah hope he won't need to see a vet till Tuesday :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: ((HUGS AND PIGGIE KISSES)) :smitten: :smitten:
 
It feels rounder now so not sure if it is bigger. Apart from that he is fine stil.
 
hoping the antibiotics are working and that sam is will soon be back to his normal self again. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: when does he go back to the vet for a check up? sending hugs and cuddles to sam and you :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: girls send :-* :-* :-* give sam a cuddles from me poor little mite. :smitten:
 
We think it has shrunk not sure. He has got vets tonight at 5 I think. Stil no net so won't beable to update. He is stil really lively ect. so my mum doesn't want him gettin surgery unless it is really urgent because he is stil so young.
 
hoping all goes well at the vet, i am no expert but maybe it would be better to get surgery if it is needed while he is lively, he'd have a better chance of getting through the surgery and recovery. sending you hugs and prayers :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: and the girls send :-* :-* :-* let us know when you can how the vet visit goes. thinking of sam and sending good vibes :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
Got net back now. He has to go in next Thursday to get a needle put in and a sample of it sent away. Can't remember the name of it but if he can't cope with that without anesthetic we will decide if he should just get it removed.
