Ria P, sorry for your loss of Clarissa.
My 21 month old Syrian has been struggling with a large lump on her chest/throat area just in front of her front paws also. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma and daily steroids and supplements where keeping it at bay for a while. But over this past month it’s gotten considerably worse. The vet said she can try to do a surgery but considering her age, she said it’s a 50/50 chance my little Choochoo would survive the surgery. I’m trying to figure out if I should just let her live out her remaining days without an invasive surgery or take the risk and try to improve her chances of being active again?
She’s eating, pooping and peeing normally but the growth is too large and getting in the way so she can’t clean her bum properly anymore. If I wanna do the surgery, she’s still got some energy left and condition seems relatively good to be able to handle the stress of surgery? Maybe.
I’m really torn on what to do for her. Any advice?
I will try to post an updated photo of her in the gallery.
