Oh and I asked my vet about metacam and she said that it is not going to help in Choo's situation, as she does not seem to be in pain and it will not benefit Choo. She said if Choo choo was feeling discomfort from the lump, she would be chewing on it. The lump seems to be enclosed and not attached to other things (but they won't be sure until they open her up) but it should be ok to just remove the largest lump without too much problem.
The risk is that because she is older, that she may not wake up from the anesthesia...which is always a risk with any procedure that might be done on her.
