*Sigh* my sweet pea has a little lump

It's on her chest toward an armpit area, about the size of an eraser head, but not that tall.

We'll be off to meet the new vet on Monday I suppose, or I will call them Monday anyway.

Please think good thoughts for my girl that it's nothing. I was *just* saying how she is at the perfect age right now, not a hyper puppy, but still young and healthy. I am trying to be brave and not worry too much, but it's hard when I don't know what it is .

Oh and a question. If she has to go under to have it removed can I get her teeth cleaned too? She needs her teeth cleaned pretty badly from what I can tell myself.

Sorry, Sara, I know it's never fun when something pops up. Hooli had a lump that we decided to take out at the same time he went for a dental, to avoid him going under twice. The vet actually said that would be best, hopefully if you do have to have it removed, yours can be done at the same time too!

I hope it is nothing to worry about. I'll be thinking of her until you gets some (good) results. If she does have to have it removed, doing a dental is a great thing to combine with something else. A dental is a necessary procedure and not terribly invasive, so it is a good thing to combine with something that requires anesthesia.

I agree she needs the dental, I even tried the guy out here that claims he can do it without putting them under. He didn't do a very thorough job.

I'll update when I know something. I know lumps and bumps aren't always scary, but they are when it's your baby.

So hope it's nothing more than a lipoma. Big hugs.

I hope it's nothing.

I'll say a prayer for Co-Pilot. Give her a kiss from me. And hugs to you!

I hope it's nothing. But yes, if she needs anything else done (even nail clipping) I would certainly vote to have it done whilst she's under if that proves necessary.

Every little bump thows me in a tizzy. I'm sure is nothing but you need that peace of mind. Please let us know as soon as you hear.

Emmet is my lumpy guy (he's had both kinds--benign and MCT). We'll hope it's the former for your gal, and yes, a small lump removal should leave plenty of time for a dental. Keep us posted!

Sara, I hope it's nothing at all. But keep in mind, even if it is an MCT, if they get good clean margins, then it's all taken care of. Grace had a grade 2 MCT (they go from 1-3, 1 the lowest) and since they got clean margins, there was no follow-up, and 2 1/2 years later, we've never had another one show up.

Good luck, Sara. I always have the vet do anything else that might need doing when they are under--might as well take advantage of it and minimize the amount of times they are anaesthetized.

Let us know.

Tilly has had a few little bumps and they just went away on their own. Don't worry, Sara, until there is something to worry about. Sending CP lots of positive vibes.

I'll be thinking of you guys - I hope that it turns out to be nothing.

Prayers and good thoughts headed her way!

Otto had something like this on his chest once, and I panicked. The vet told me to wait a week and see what happened, and by the end of the week, it had shriveled up and fallen off.

Hugs to Co-Pilot!

lots of good vibes for co-pilot!

I'm sure it will be okay. I'll keep your little puggy in my thoughts that it is no big deal.

My Ichiro has to get one removed too, we just haven't schedule his surgery yet! Every little bump scares me too!

Saying a little prayer for CP and that it's nothing at all. To answer your question about the dental, I'd do it while she's under as well. I've gotta call tomorrow to schedule Gracie's, which I'm not looking forward to. Please keep us posted on what the vet says.

Good thoughts for Miss CP that it's nothing! No vet should want to put a pet, especially a pug, under more than is needed, so I'm sure they'd combine the two if at all possible. At the vet's I work at we remove lumps and bumps commonly with dentals. Good luck and try not to worry!

Aw Sara it's so scary when we find something on our babies. I hope the Vet tells you it's nothing to worry about.

I'll be calling as soon as they open today. We are going to Gina's vet (can't think of her screen name or if she is on this board) but she has 4 pugs and has been going there for 15 years. Her babies are Molly, Olly, Izzy and Ozzy if you know who she is. I adore her and her husband and they will also be watching CP for us when we go to a wedding at the end of the month.

Anyway, I am glad the resounding YES on the dental. I asked because I didn't know if "agitating bacteria" during a minor surgery was an issue.

Poor Co-Pilot. I will be hoping everything is fine today.

Ack!!! Poor CP! Please keep us updated. Thinking about you guys

Sending positive vibes that it's nothing serious! good luck at the vet!

Hugs to Miss CP and hugs to you, and fingers and everything else crossed that it is nothing.
