XD I do love that little crease in his bottom lip that makes him look permanently puckered up for a kiss!
He is still doing great, I've no idea why he suddenly lost control of his bladder or dribbled urine so much it soaked him up to his chest for 24 hours..but whatever the reason he is now back to normal and dry, which meant he had a bath to remove the yellow staining. He loved sitting in the nice warm water, hated getting moved about to be shampood and dried, bless him. I sent him to sit on his granny to warm up again wrapped in his towel and he told her all about it, he was very annoyed for a while!

So yeah...i'll put the grotty picture of Cinnamon's lump last, after some nicer pictures XD but yeah..i'm back to being concerned for Cinnamon, what we thought was a cysts is looking more like a tumour. Having cleaned it out a couple of times it became clear it wasn't actually refilling, but something was growing, pushing the contents to the top. This 'something' made it to the surface today and there are some smaller growths around the outside of the opening. The earliest i've been able to get her an appointment is Sunday (eternally grateful my vets are open 7 days a week!) but I'm hoping there will be a cancellation before then, because this all has grown in the week since she was last seen, the proximity to her spine makes me nervous, I don't know how big this thing is beneath the surface and I don't want it pushing on anything important! :yikes:

It doesn't, does it :( the speed in which it has grown really concerns me but I'm keeping hopeful that it's benign and once it's removed, thats the end of it.
 
I managed to fall asleep (bad piggy slave!) And Leonard missed his Calpol by about 2 hours. Luckily it doesn't seem to have affected him, as you can see XD
I also got miss Chubs out to check on her lump as it was bleeding a bit earlier...can you tell she is fed up of her bum being the object of so much attention?

I've been spending some time with Cinnamon today, her lump seems to be getting larger, and i've started freaking out about the prospect of surgery. I know, statistically, she should be fine, so long as it's not something nasty and aggressive, but still.. she's my screamy chub chub and I worry :roll: her little bum looks an awful lot like a coconut XD id never noticed that before. Although her lump kind of spoils the illusion for now, but it made me chuckle anyway.

I liked your post because she is beautiful, not because she has a lump! It's so hard when they are not well. Sending healing vibes to Cinamon and hugs to you.
Peanut has a lump in (not on) his neck. I'm trying so hard not to worry, it's in a difficult position to operate so it's on watch at the moment, it's not changed in the last month so I'm hopeful we can leave it alone.

What a beautiful chubster, I hope her lump can be sorted out- healing wheeks and hugs!
 
Thankyou both, I really appreciate it! Lumps are something I have thankfully managed to avoid so far, minus Shellys little fatty ones on her belly, so this is new ground and I'm really worried about the proximity to her spine.

I hope little Peanuts lump is nothing and can be left, bless him! It's so worrying not knowing what they are isnt it.

What a beauty.
Hope the lump can be dealt with.
Jemimah had a persistent abscess removed last year and came through fine.
Let us know if / when she’s having surgery.

Hope Peanut’s lump can be dealt with easily.
It is worrying though.
We’re here to support you

Will do! She's being seen at 10:45 tomorrow so at least I don't have to wait around all day worrying whether or not we can leave it or if it's got to come off. I'm glad Jemimahs abscess removal went well, that's reassuring to hear.
 
Good luck tomorrow morning at the vets. She is stunningly beautiful.
 
So I'm sat waiting for the vets to open at half past to cancel Cinnamons appointment..I've no idea what happened, but not long before I went to get her into her carrier to head off for our appointment, she passed away. I'm devastated, but it looks like she lay down to sleep and just didn't wake up, which is probably one of the better ways to go at least. I wasn't ready to lose another and I so, so wasn't expecting it to be her when the time did come.
 
Oh what?!? I'm so sorry for your loss what a shock for you. She is having fun with all your passed piggies at the Rainbow Bridge now.
 
I am so very sorry to hear your very sad news, sending you and your piggies massive hugs. X
 
Thankyou, I'm still in shock..of all the scenarios I had imagined and tried to plan for, waking up to find her gone was not one of them. She was perfectly fine last night, wandering around the room, having a cuddle and posing for pictures..came running for her dinner. I knew something wasn't right when I saw her in Treacles hide, she always took the far off one and shared it with Ebony..but it seems she had gone over to Treacle at the end for some comfort because she never really sat in that one.

And poor Ebony, that is 2 friends now in 3 months she has lost, she is very quiet. I'll get the pair of them out in a little bit for a run and a cuddle, try to cheer them up.
 
Aw, I’m so sorry you have lost Cinnamon, what an awful shock for you. Sending you and your piggies big hugs x
Sleep tight little one x
 
The baby of the family, Panda, has just sat and watched Robin Hood with me as a distraction. We've been working on her biting, she's not a fan of being handled at all, but she's getting there..it's more of a slightly painful, over enthusiastic nibble/grooming now rather than bites.
They're all very aware that there's been another loss, the room is absolutely silent. Hopefully veggies at 6 will pick them up again.

I am so very sorry to hear this news.
What a shock for you.
Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself time and space to grieve.
Holding you in my heart
 
Thankyou, it means so much to have you all here that understand. I'm not looking forward to facing the crematorium tomorrow, it's always so difficult leaving them.. but once that hurdle is over and they're back home, things start to feel better.
We're thinking when the dust settles, we will look for someone to join Treacle and Ebony, it's becoming more and more obvious Treacle (and Cinnamon) were older than we originally believed.. I would hate for anything to happen to her and for Ebony to be all alone again, plus I think another friend would help bring Treacle out of herself a little more, she has certainly come on in leaps and bounds since meeting Ebony.
But that's a thought for another day, they're both doing as well as can be expected for now, so no need to rush anything.
