Found A Lump On Belle, Need positive thoughts.... Options

[bellemocha99]

Tonight, I was petting Belle and found a lump about the size of a half dollar near her back leg/hip area. I don't think I can handle bad news about Belle after just losing Mocha weeks ago. I am very worried because Belle has a small fatty tumor on her belly and this other lump doesn't feel like that one. I am going to call the vet right away in the morning to get an appoinment as soon as I can.

I am praying that this won't be anything serious for Belle. I know that Belle is reaching the 'senior' stage of her life, so these lumps and bumps can pop up without reason. I know that they can sometimes be bad news, but more often than not, they are simply 'old age tumors'. They may not all feel the same depending on location. I certainly feel like she should be seen (as with any 'new findings') by your vet for certainty, but I'm hoping that it isn't anything to worry about. Please let us know when you get her in and what was said....I'll be looking for your posts with fingers crossed....
Love,
Kim
