<DIV>This morning at 5:30 AM I was woken to the sound of licking, excessive
licking and when I checked on Owen there he was licking the lump site and the
floor. Apparently the drain is FINALLY working.. It was inserted on
Tuesday afternoon and today is Saturday. Last evening I was putting hot
compresses on the site and noticed that it seemed to have gotten bigger, harder
and warmer. If it wasn't better today he was going back to the
vet. I guess it reached it's breaking point...thank
doG!!! It has been draining now for nearly 5 hours ... and the lump
is nearly gone. But during the mist of it draining Owen was cleaning
Abe's eyes ...unbelievable what a selfless dog he is...!!! He is scheduled
to go back Monday so they could remove the drain and do another
evaluation.. Keep paws crossed that it does not flare up again and no
additional surgery is needed. I have a feeling that there might be
an old muscular suture that is causing this issue. Bev suggested it as he
did have surgery to removed a mast cell tumor there 4 years ago and
I absolutely agree. The vet did say it that something like this can
present itself years later . Thank you all again for your support and Abe
thanks you as he would be so lost without his best friend and brother
Owen.</DIV>
