Mystery Lump
Scooby saw our vet this morning to check out the mass on his left hip.
He at first went with the thought that is was an abscess. Scout picks on Scooby a lot and perhaps bit him or punctured the skin with his claws. If it was an abscess he would drain it out.
So they shaved the spot and he lanced it and no material came out. He lanced again in a different area, again no pus.
Then he aspirated it with a needle to draw out a sample of what's in there and he removed a white/cream colored liquid and tissue.
He is going to send it to the pathology lab for evaluation.
They probably won't get to it today and they don't work weekends so I won't hear anything until possibly Tuesday or Wednesday. Depending on what they see we may have to schedule surgical removal.
So we play the waiting game.
I hate the waiting game.
Please keep Scooby in your thoughts and purrs.

We are still sending him lots of purrs and prayers - we hope it turns out to be nothing serious! We will keep our paws and fingers crossed for good results.
We will continue to send our purrayers to Scooby!!! Hoping it's just a fatty deposit and nothing serious!!! We'll be anxiously awaiting the results.
All paws crossed for Scooby.
We're purring for Scooby and we sure hope it's nothing! We think the waiting is the hardest part!
Waiting is awful because it gives us too much time to think of terrible scenarios.
In this instance we all are purring that it's benign and that Scooby will be just fine! Paws crossed!!!
Sending lots of love and hugs

We are sending lots of purrs to Scooby that it is just a harmless cyst or fatty lipoma.
48 paws crossed it's a cyst from a bite that never drained. Gosh, we hate waiting too! Mommy says give Scooby a snuggle and a smooch from her.
BIG purrs from all of us.
Purrraying that this lump is something harmless.
The waiting is just the worst, isn't it?
Purrs for Scooby, hope it turns out to be nothing serious. Waiting is hard.
Purrs for Scooby...
Hope it's nothing serious! Purrs
We're still purring & purraying for Scooby that it turns out to be nothing. Hugs to mom while she's waiting.

Waiting is so hard. We will purr and purr for good test results.
Scooby, we are sending you the biggest purrs and headbutts. Mom hates lumps. We've done the whole surgery waiting for biopsy results with Tesla's lumps. We hope that it's nothing and the results come back benign. We will be thinking of you.
Oh! We are sending tons of purrs and purrayers that it may be one of those Lipomas like Smokey had! Yeah, that's what it is!
Luf, Us
the boyz and i are praying for scooby...
I'm purrin'! Lots n' lots of purrin'! I hope it's just a fatty mass or some such and nothin' skeery. I hope, I hope!
Sorry to hear Scooby is having to go through more health drama. Best of luck to him and to you. Fingers and paws crossed.
Be of good cheer. Tuxies are hardy, gallant creatures!
Scooby, we're purring extra hard for you. Hope it turns out to be nothing but goo. You really shouldn't go and worry your Mom like that.
