Question about a lump behind nipple
I have an abandoned 1yr old female scheduled for spaying on Monday,
June 1st. This morning I was examining her nipples to make sure she had properly dried up after finishing nursing when I noticed a rather large swelling (growth/lump) behind one of her lower nipples. I tried calling the vet to see what she had to say, but she's gone for the weekend. There is no injury or discoloration. Does anybody have any idea what this might be and if it is unwise to procede with her scheduled spaying? It's right along side where her incision will be. |

Good thing we've already got a date with the vet. |

Debby Hanoka dhanoka at gmail dot com Spaying has been postponed until her mastitis has cleared up... which is almost gone already. Another problem... I have an extremely small living space for her to convalesce and it is next to impossible to keep her remaining kitten and another that I am fostering from continuously trying to nurse from her. Up to this point the kittens have been inside and she has been outside with another spayed companion. I need to plan ahead here... so wouldn't it be wise to wrap her bottom side immediately after surgury to deflect any more attempts at nursing... and does anyone have any suggestions as to how this could be done successfully? I'm thinking some type of sock-like gauze... the type that doctors slip over their patient's arms/legs before casting a broken limb. Would the vet have a solution to this problem... or would I be expected to improvise? Our situation is unique, so this is very important to her healing sucessfully and without any complications. |
