I took Lilly into the vet yesterday for a NEW ailment and found out that Lilly's test results came back in yesterday...SHE IS CANCER FREE!!!
artyman: :dance: Come to find out, the bump was a burst cyst. The vet said that it was good that we removed it and did the test though, so now we know that she has them and what to look for!!!
Unfortunetely, we found out she has bladder incontinence due to the spay. The vet tech (insert foul expletives here) tried to tell me on the phone that it HAD to be a UTI because Lilly is "TOO YOUNG" to have bladder incontinence!!! I told her that we can end up with it after having a baby or hysterectomy (or even a tubal ligation [speaking from experience...sorry for the TMI]) and that if we can have it then they can too!!! The vet, after a urine test and Lilly leaking on the floor, backed me up and told me that I made a good diagnosis. She then proceeded to reem the vet tech for being an (insert foul expletive here) on the phone with me and explained taht owners are more aware of their dogs normal behavior and will go out of their way to monitor (or sniff pee in my case) to make sure their dog is okay. :aua:
nfire: I don't think she'll be doing that anymore...at least not with me!!!
Anyways, Lilly is now on meds (until I find a natural remedy for it that is) to strenthen her bladder sphincter , so we'll see how it goes!!!
