Emergency Vet
Bonnie has been very quiet for a couple of days now and tonight she started wimpering and couldn't get comfortable. I wondered if she had a spinal injury as she was acting like an old dog rather than a 10 month old. At 7.30pm we took her down to the emergency vet. He gave her a thorough examination and ruled out a spinal or hip problem, but she does have a high temperature, raised lymph glands on one side and a lump in her shoulder. No definitive diagnosis, but lymphoma was mentioned as a possibility. He gave her a Metacam injection and antibiotic. I will take her back on Friday evening and hopefully she will have started to improve and it is a wound infection - even though I can't think where from - there is no wound to see and I can't recall anything. If not it will mean a biopsy. I am very worried for her - she is only 10 months old. Please keep fingers crossed for us that it is something simple like an abscess.
