Jim, I think Tuesday is good too. Sometimes we have to wait as hard as it is.

Thanks, Pennie :hug:
I need those kind of positive thoughts right now.

I'm okay with the wait as long as it isn't detrimental to Moosh's well-being.

Ashlee, Dr.C's receptionist, knows me from when I was bringing Chippy in.

She told me not to hesitate to callANYTIME (24/7), and bring Mooshu in if I think it has turned into an emergency situation.

I can be there in 20 minutes....10 if there's no cops.:coolness: (they'd have to chase me all the way to the vets before I'd pull over anyway! Police escort??!!)

I think they'd let you go without a ticket too.

Make way! Man with a sick bunny!

This isoff-topic to Angela
I got a ticket for going through a stop sign when I was bringing Oberon back from the vet after he was neutered. The cop looked at the carrier and said
"Do you have to be somewhere in a hurry? andI was honest and said

"no"
I should have said"Make Way Woman with ajust neutered bunny!" :biggrin2:



Jim,

IfI were you I would wait for your regular doctor also. I wouldn't hesitate to wait unless Moo Shu looked in distress ...

I'm thinking of getting a couple of magnetic signs for my car...

[align=left]I can put the extra carrier in the car...and maybe put a stuffed rabbit in it for the full effect.
Maybeone of thoseyellow flashing lights with the suction cup for the roof? Or a pink one maybe?
A bunny's waterbottle in the cupholder...and a bag of crasins on the dashboard?
Hang some IV bottles from the coat hooks?
The riot helmet with bunny ears might be a bit over the top, eh?[/align]

Moosh is doing very good today.

She looks great!...considering that she's going through a major molt.
I think all the extra grooming has helped.
I've also been giving her extra sunflower seeds and rolled oatsies...along with larger portions of dried papaya.

I checked the "lump" and it hasn't seemed to change much.

 

[Maureen Las]

I think that if you had that on your car
they "be coming to take you away"


I"m glad that little Moo Shu is holding her own

I had Moo Shu veggies for dinner last night

she would have liked it...

 

[JimD]

Moosh is still doing fine.

I went through all of her old pics and decided that I needed to update them.

Here's a couple that I've downloaded so far....
***please excuse the lousy red-eye fix...just couldn't get it quite right today***

This is her good side...

This is her left side.....I circled the area where the lump is....

 

[Maureen Las]

She's gorgeous

Do you know what that coloring is called?

I can see the lump but as long as it's not growing try to relax until Tues.

Thanks!:hearts:

She's a dutch mix and looks nothing like her mother, S'more (we have her, too!!).
We don't know anything about the father.
S'more and her 5 babies were brought into the shelter when their owner passed away.

Here's S'more....

Those two are so pretty! You have so many sometimes I need refresher pics! LOL!
I know she's getting the best possible care, but I am anxious to hear what they say on Tuesday!

Hi Jim, the lump on Mooshu's picture is exactly where Hazel has her fatty deposit, and looks exactly the same!
Those prices you quoted look horribly over the top! We are lucky that our vet is much cheaper!
When Hazel's vet did the needle biopsy, she just stuck the needle in without total anesthesia. It went very quick and easy, Hazel didn't even flinch. (My husband was with her, not me, so I'm not sure whether they used local anesthesia. I think not, though.) The vet did compliment her on how calm she was, she didn't even need the assistant to help hold her
They also did the cell examination right then and there, we didn't have to wait for results. If they had seen something more than just fatty cells, they would have sent it out, though.
Hazel never had the lump removed, the vet didn't think it was necesary, we just keep an eye on it. It hasn't changed for 4 years now.
Hopefully all turns out well for MooShu and you.

The best senario I could hope for is that it's a fatty deposit of some kind.

I love the vet at Banfield, but... as you saw...their prices are outrageous.
EVERYTHING in my immediate area is overpriced.
That's why I travelalmost 20 miles to see Dr.C at the Pompton Lakes Animal Hospital.

Dr.C does partial anesthesia when he does an aspiration. Just enough to calm them and keep them from moving.

He'll send out a biop to the lab if he sees anything that warrants it.

Tomorrow at this time, I'll be headed home to pack up Moosh.

I'm here, I'm here!

I'm sorry.

Moosh is fine.

I'm just a little worried.

 

[Maureen Las]

Tomorrow is the vet appt

we'll be waiting to hear how things go for you and Moosh

:hug:Maureen

I can see the lump too. It looks very much like (and is located in the same place as) Dante's lumps ... and they were fatty cysts. Hopefully that will be confirmed tomorrow.
