I didn't realise you were so worried about this.

Well, this isn’t our average pet dogs with full service history going for a check-up. There’s a lump, I don’t know how long it’s been there, or what it means. I don’t know if there are more that I haven’t had the chance to feel. I don’t know if she has any tender spots because I can’t guarantee being able to touch her one visit to the next, and certainly not in a way that is an inspection. And I still have very clear in my memory the horror of the last trip like this we took to the vet.
It may be nothing of importance. It may be something that is easily removed. Or it may be window number three.
I have to be prepared for the worst, whilst hoping for the best. Part of that preparation is making sure she has a great weekend, just in case.

This evening, she had her dinner (hand fed, because that’s what we do now, apparently) and then I sat on her sofa and she jumped straight up without hesitation.
She had a lot of scritches and then she put her head down and fell asleep next to me
I felt so honoured she was comfortable enough to do that. Hopefully we’ll have many more opportunities to take that further in the future.

Just a few more

There aren’t enough in the whole wide world to send what we hope and wish for her and you and J. That bit about her falling asleep next to you brought me to some tears. Bless her and you x

And I still have very clear in my memory the horror of the last trip like this we took to the vet.

Try to plan care for yourself around this vet visit as thoroughly as you are planning it out for Talia. The last trip WAS trauma - in the clinical sense - for you, and even if this one turns out 100% positive as we're all hoping, having a care plan for yourself before and after the visit is important.

As for Talia - she loves you and will do everything she can within her power to stay here with you. That doesn't make it easier and it's something you know already, but I just wanted to say it.

 

[Jacqui-S]

She is in the best hands.
I agree whole heartedly with Emily about looking after yourself. Being a carer and decision maker is hard in this situation.

We are here for you too x

 

[snowbunny]

Thanks everyone. Everything crossed for a positive outcome.

Snoozing next to me last night:

 

[MrChew]

Fingers, toes and paws crossed for you both. She's a lucky girl to have you.

 

[Loraseal]

I don't think I can say anything more than what everybody else has said. I do echo @Emily_Babbelhund thoughts about being kind to yourself before.,during and after the vet visit.
I know how this vet visit can be a major setback behaviour wise. For her to snooze next to you is a major triumph. We have everything crossed for Monday.

 

[Stacia]

@snowbunny, Talia looked so relaxed snoozing next to you, at last she has found love and peace, even if it might be short-lived, but with luck, the lump is benign.

I hope you & Talia are having a whizz of a weekend. As @Jelinga has said, she has found love & peace. She feels safe. That's the best thing ever.
