Well the growth is a beneign (sp) tumour. He told me the exact name but it's long! It should go on it's own accord but I need to keep an eye that it doesn't ulcerate, weep or irritate her or it's straight back to get checked. He said the chances or it turning cancerous are slim to none.

She has also had a very ungoing problem with her ears. The canals are closing due to food intolerances and then becoming irritated. The vet wanted to give them a good clean (plucking right down as far as possible) so she had to be sedated to get this carried out. She is now drugged up on morphine and steriods. Feeling very sorry for herself. We have to try and get the canal opened as much as possible as they eventual outcome would be parring away the inner ear. Which is not something I want to put her through.

She's sleeping on the settee at the min so hopefully the drugs will keep her comfortable enough to sleep during the night

Was it a histiocytoma, by any chance? Stella had one a couple of years back; came and went within a fortnight, although it left a horrid "button mark" on her flank

Yes that's what it was Prose! He said they're also referred to as button tumours? Beastie's is hidden within her beard so it won't be noticeable.

The morphine and steroids ensured she slept all last night. Although I woke up and her blanket had fallen off and she felt really cold so I tucked it all round her again.

Ahh poor wee Sophie

I'm sure it is rather unpleasant. Make sure if you're posting pics, not just gory ones but nice pictures of her face too
