My poor little Moo Moo

Yesterday morning I noticed a lump under Maggie's belly. I called the vet and got her in later in the day. The vet told me that she thought it was a hernia and to bring her back the next morning to have it surgically fixed.

Today I dropped her off and anxiously waited for the vet to call me and tell me everything went OK. When she called she told me that Maggie did fine through surgery, but it wasn't a hernia like she originally thought. It was a mass which she is hoping is an enlarged lymph node. She said that due to some internal bruising and bleeding it was hard to tell so she did some blood work and sent the lump she removed off for a pathology examination. We will find out about the blood work tomorrow, but we won't have the pathology results for at least a week. I am so worried about what it could possibly be and just pray that it is just an enlarged lymph node like the vet thinks. All I can do is wait for the vet to call with the results and try not to worry about it too much.

My parents and my sister came down with a get well card and some treats for Maggie. She's really worn out and tired, but she is doing well.

She's actually getting around better than I thought she would.

This is a close up of the site. I hope she heals quickly.
