How is Rory @SwampDonkey ? Have you managed to speak to your vet?
He's just got back from there. He makes me laugh. The vet mentioned that he seemed very bouncy is that code for being a happy lab? Shes seen him again they were going to drain it again but have decided to leave it. The vet I spoke too was the very experienced one who did his foot surgery. She thinks it's a weird response to his op/ stitches and lipoma. She wants to leave it and review in 10 days. He has no temp and the lump has gone soft again. He's tired but happy. He's got antibiotics and if it swells again or he gets a temp or is unwell I've got to take him in. She wants to let his body sort it out. I can do that so it's wait and see. It looks horrible I'm upset but doing nothing seems the best thing to do at the moment.
It's s saggy boob not a pert one now

That's difficult Swampy, sorry it's not a quick solution but it sounds like a measured assessment. Keeping everything crossed Rory knocks it out of the park in his own sweet way. He is such a darling boy, I love that they thought he was 'bouncy'!
He's just s beast of a Labrador. Why walk when you can bounce flounce and prance like a Spanish horse.

Yes sorry they weren't able to resolve the problem immediately but it sounds as if you trust this vet so fingers crossed for a gradual improvement.
I know doing nothing can be hard but sometimes it's the best thing,. I just had to be sure there was no infection or anything that needs to be done. He really is my darling

If its any comfort to you , Sam developed a seroma after his cancer operation , granted it wasnt as big as poor Rorys , but the Vet advised to leave it give it time to disperse and be absorbed by the body . It took ages , and like you I was so worried but eventually it just began to deflate and disappear , bless Rory xx

Rory does like to prance doesn't he??
Sorry it seems to be taking such a zig zag path to recovery. It sounds like things are improving.
Hope you all sleep a little better tonight, X

I'm not worried about the sleep 
Rory will be fine. I know what to do so hopefully things will he ok. Its ironic that it was to remove a growth and it's caused so many problems

Sounds like your vet is on the right track. Hope it heals up without any further complications!

One of the rare occasions a saggy boob is much preferred.
Just catching up with your and Rory's boob adventures. Sounds like progress but not quite all clear yet - hope you all have a good night and your boy keeps up the prancing.

Lots of hugs from down here too and Maxx sends plenty of healing licks for his fellow prancing mate

I hope he's still ok-ish this morning and the boob is still baggy. What an awful nightmare journey this is being for you and Rory x
He's fine just tired, he's been for a short walk and I've explained to everyone about his boob.ivers going into barky meltdown because Rawi won't play!
