Like i said in yesterdays post,she was up and about when i got home last night. Tail was wagging. She was starving. She ate 2 plates of food and then she wanted the kids KFC (didnt get any).
I woke up at 4am this morning with no dog in the bed. She was on the floor staring at me. Thought she wanted to go outside. Nope,she wanted to go out in the living room to bully the boy sleeping on the couch off the couch.she finally got him to wake up 45 minutes ago. He moved to the crappy end of the couch and she hopped up into his spot and went to sleep. Took her 4 hours to get what she wanted. Damn hard headed pit bull,she dont give up till she gets what she wants🤣
What seems to be happening is the lump gets bigger,she doesnt feel good for a day or 2.then when shes getting up and doing dog things again the lump shrinks back to its "normal" size. the breath gets worse during this as well and goes back to the normal stink when shes done feeling like shit.
Waiting on a call back from my vet.unless its an emergency,he usually calls back in a day or 2. If there was an emergency,id just call his office. Gotta see about doing something withnthe lump. I feel that is the cause of most of the issues shes having.
If it werent for the lump and the top of her head sunk in,you really wouldnt know she was sick and possibly dieing. Visually,she doesnt seem to be losing weight. When shes not feeling like shit,shes being 80% of her normal pain in the ass self.
I don't know what kind of lump it is. Is there a possibility it's some kind of cyst? A couple GAW people recommended DrawSalve for lipomas. My husband used some on his "lipoma" (which doctors called it) on his neck (which he has had for years). The dang stuff works and all kinds of nasty stuff drained out and now it's barely there. Message me if you want more details
I didnt have any tests done. My vet been in practice 40+ years. I believe he knows what he sees.
But this started with her grinding and chattering her teeth. I figured it was a string or something from her toy stuck between 2 teeth or broke a tooth. I brought her in,had 2 teeth pulled. 1 was broken the other was just floating in the socket. The smell went away for a couple days and came back.then the lump started growing and top of her head sunk in. Ended up having a 3rd tooth pulled. Smell went away for a week or so and came back. She was on 2 different antibiotics for 2 months straight,they didnt do anything. Shes also got 3 or 4 lumps in her neck,swollen lymphnodes.
If you keep your dog on an antibiotic for an extended amount of time, you should at least make sure they’re having some kind of probiotic.
