Jack has a lump...

Yesterday, during playtime, my partner in crime pointed out she could feel a little lump just behind Jack's shoulder. I checked it and I could feel a little lump
So today Jack went to the vet in Bray and we decided that Jack will have churgery to have it removed , as it may be just a cyst or maybe the beginning something nastier.

So Jack is scheduled for churgery on July the 7th...

Judging by where it sounds like it is, I would say a cyst. good luck.

I am worried about Jacks Recovery time. so i was i Googled i found this site I just want to know if this is correct? As i know there is a lot of false information on on the Internet
http://www.rattyrat.com/guidebook/surgery.html

It's not incorrect advice as such, but it's not great. I must admit the use of the word evasive all the way through is a little annoying... surely they mean invasive?

So Jack had its surgery, but it was not a cyst, neither a tumor...

We were quite surprised to see that the lump, which had been growing over the last week, suddenly got smaller...

It turned out we found a little wound, where the lump was.. the vet reported it was an abces and Jack seemed to have lanced it himself!

Anyways, the vet cleaned it out and Jack is back in his cage with Ted. We did take him out to dinner and treated him on steak. He was bruxing all the way home

I tried to reply to this and Pixie and Dizzy walked all over the tablet and included a quote from your original post so did he have to have an anaesthetic?he sounds like a clever fellow,obv decided to deal with the situation himself

I guessed it may have been a cyst or abscess (the two can be very similar indeed) great news!
