(Say that five times real fast!)
This is Kylie, my fawn rescue girl, who's been with me a few months now:
She came underweight, with a bad UTI, a respiratory illness, a psuedo-pregnancy, and some skin troubles. All that is cleared up now, and she is now spayed.
She's since put on ten pounds of muscle and grown an inch at the withers. (She's guestimated to be a bit over a year old--but had had at least one, maybe two litters of pups.)
Here's what I'd like thoughts/experiences on:
Kylie has two small lumps, symmetrical, just behind her lower jaw line, either side of her head.
Doc says these are swollen lymph glands.
Bloodwork comes back normal.
Kylie looks to be blooming, eats great, activity level a bit too great!
I've had her to a couple different vets, a few times, over these lumps. I lost my first Dobe to cancer--so admittedly I'm a tad paranoid, but.
Options given to me are:
1. Wait six months, see if the lumps remain or if they change in any way.
2. Exploratory surgery.
Does it seem reasonable to wait and see? Or would you have her opened up and biopsied, given the normal bloodwork?
