Nelly`s growth

[kateincornwall]

We have an appointment with Sue tomorrow afternoon as Nelly`s growth, an Epulis , has changed . I showed it to @Emily_Babbelhund on Friday and since then, it has grown and spread outwards . I truly dont know what lies ahead for our little love, but we will do all we can for her xx

One day at a time.

That's a worry for you, but I'm glad you have an appointment soon, Kate.

 

[edzbird]

Sorry it's worsened. Glad your appointment is soon though.

 

[kateincornwall]

Its such a shame for her , having just got ` top side ` of her neurological issues and now this . Sue is a star and will always see our dogs as soon as she can xx

So sorry. Hopefully it can be removed or managed easily. My vet told me about Boxers with such big epuli that they bulge out of the mouth and they can’t eat. Apparently also get them in humans—my cousin is a radiologist and was explaining them to me, said they’re harmless. This was when Snowie had the one. Apparently it’s not surprising if they grow back once removed.

@M.F. not sure it's necessarily as simple as that.
"An epulis can be benign (i.e. non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). But it’s a little bit more complicated than that. Even a benign epulis can cause a lot of trouble. This type of tumor can be “locally invasive,” which means that it can grow into the jaw bone and literally eat the bone away. Even though it doesn’t spread or metastasize to other organs, it is considered aggresive."

Fingers crossed for wee Nelly

That sounds really scary @Jacqui-S . Sending lots and lots of Lambies to little Nelly for a good solution.

Oh dear. Lets just hope for the best, dear little Nelly, doesn't deserve this xx

@Jacqui-S thank you for sharing that article. My vet and my doctor cousin had vastly different views.

Hoping Nelly falls into the benign category. @kateincornwall thinking of you all and hoping for the best outcome. xxx
