Post Vet update

I took Lila to the vet today....

He prescribed Synotic 8ml to reduce inflammation. The medication is supposed to reduce swelling and it is a steroidal topical. This is a 2 week treatment, twice a day for a week and once a day for an additional week. The medication is supposed to reduce swelling. I think he said it was a vascular tumor because it was spongy. He coudn't know for sure with out running one more test. I couldn't afford to do it all at this appointment, but I can kind of do it one appointment at a time. She has a check up on April 16th to see how the meds worked. It would be another $ 200 to get the blood drawn, examined by the pathologist, and to pay for that appointment.I did not get quoted a surgery price. If we did decided to operate, Dr. Harvey would only be able to reduce the mass a bit. A complete removal wouldn't leave enough skin to close the hole. When it come down to it surgery wasn't an option for us because of price. Luckily shes not in pain and still has complete motor functions

 

She has a follow up appointment on April 16th. I hope we don't have anymore issues with her mass.
The vet also said she had the best temperment of all the hedgies hes handled. All of the vet techs were enamored by her.
