The fact that it was red and now is only pink and that she doesn't experience discomfort when you touch it are all good signs.<br /><br />I hope you get the all clear soon!OTRgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433339525588500502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347253.post-62867048241531522592012-11-14T20:17:36.465-06:002012-11-14T20:17:36.465-06:00If I were in your position, I would be panicking a...If I were in your position, I would be panicking and crying and whispering, "please be okay" in Zelda's little ear, but then I tend to be an overreacting fool. Feel free to use me as your guide in how not to be. <br /><br />But from a rational distance, I agree with Pickles and Dimes. It would be awfully coincidental for Zelda to develop cancer right after and in the same spot where she got her rabies shot. Also it seems a good sign that the lump is looking progressively better and that she doesn't seem sick at all. Anything out of the ordinary should be checked out, but you're doing that, so you should try not to worry.flurrioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741818444546974100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347253.post-38082886749215501832012-11-14T19:11:11.807-06:002012-11-14T19:11:11.807-06:00I wouldn't worry just yet, cat's have weir...I wouldn't worry just yet, cat's have weird immune systems. They're nothing like humans or dogs. If the lump isn't in the muscle, just under the skin, even if it is bad it would be easy to remove. If it's in the muscle, it probably isn't a tumor, it probably just is a vaccine reaction.<br /><br />Don't stress yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347253.post-79125380705019885122012-11-14T17:22:28.843-06:002012-11-14T17:22:28.843-06:00I don't know much about this stuff but I do un...I don't know much about this stuff but I do understand you worrying about Zelda. I'm hoping that it is nothing but a pea sized lump that goes away soon.

I'm hoping it's just a reaction and everything is all right.<br /><br />A few years ago, Abby had a weird black lump on her gums that the vet said he'd never seen before and when he biopsied it, said it just appeared to be full of fluid but that he didn't get a big enough sample to tell for sure. The lump came back relatively quickly but then inexplicably disappeared.<br /><br />Here's hoping Zelda's lump ends up being nothing.Pickles and Dimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552386798256895855noreply@blogger.com
