MemberHi Rio the GSP has had a bit of a traumatic time. After being bitten by a savage dog she had to have a GA & anti inflammatory /anti biotic injections . Now 15 days after the injection a hugh lump has appeared on her neck. She isn’t in pain & is acting normally (being a pain in the neck! lol) Does any one know anything about these lumps ? I have an appointment again with the vet in 10 days time. Thanks.

MemberPoor Rio sounds as though he’s been in the wars.
The lump should go down some take a long while hopefully by the time you go back to the vet it will have gone

MemberPoor Rio.
Val, could it be an abcess? :-\
January 18, 2011 at 3:49 pm #88177MemberVery rare for it to be an abcess it would be so sore and Sony say’s she hasn’t got any pain, have seen this loads of time after vaccinations

[/quote]January 18, 2011 at 6:14 pm #88179MemberThanks Val & Izzie.The lump seems to be harder & smaller today. There is no pain but I’m trying to leave it alone rather than make it worse. I’ve looked back on her notes that I have made of her health/ vets visits & in 2003 she had an anti biotic jab in her neck that developed into a lump. I will have a word with the vet about it. Hopefully it will be gone by then as you said Val!
Thanks.January 18, 2011 at 10:46 pm #88180MemberAbscess’s are difficult to describe over the net they are not watery much firmer but not hard and they are hot because of the inflammation and very very painful cats are notorious for getting them when they have a scrap usually caused by dirt on the claw.
Sony’s lad will be fine, I had a Norfolk that got it’s shots and it took 2 months for it to go down I was stripping round his bump for at least two grooms, Antihistamines can help but I would just leave it to nature
