Hi - Sorry, I just posted this on my original thread also, but thought I should start one with a new subject line.
I just got back from the vet. The news about Queensie is not good :'(
He says the thing is not an abscess, but it is probably either bone growth from tooth root problems, or possibly a tumor.
He wouldn't know for sure about the latter two unless he did x-rays, which would need to be done under anesthesia, and then the 'so what next' of that would be extensive surgery. And because she is 7, we are choosing not to go that route. He did give me a good antibiotic, but he says if it's in the bone, it's hard to get at.
We are heartbroken, but we will keep an eye on her closely. For now, she is eating and it is all good. At least we can prepare ourselves a little bit. It's hard to say how much time she has.
Thanks for all your help and understanding and caring.
