Lets see. She ate a plate full of turnip greens and a plate full of escarole. Then this morning, she ate a plate full of escarole. So she's quite ravenous and is plump from all that she ate. She must have been in a lot of pain not to eat much. She's healing as expected. She's never had escarole before and she loves it.

Update on Allie's Lump II
- Thread starter Noella
- Start date
I got her as a juvenile and been holding her ever since. She's such a 'docile' and good girl. The vet said the moment she woke up, she started running all over the kennel and climbing the door to get out. They called me to tell me she's wild and ate all her greens like crazy. They wanted me to pick her up.
When do you get the results back ?
Newest Update:
I've got a question for you...I was reading the recovery instructions on Allie. It says she needs to rest. Okay.
How can I get her to rest? You don't. She's been really active lately and acting like a two year old toddler tasting everything in her tank.

@PatsyB : She's really truly happy to be back home. She messed up the hospital kennel she was supposed to be in for the whole day and night. It makes me wonder if other beardies, if they ever spent the night and wake up after surgery, do this? I'll never know. She's such a trip! I could hear her in the hospital kennel running around and making noises. She really wanted me really bad. It's like, "Where's my Mommy? Where's my husky? Where's my tank? Where's my food? Where's everything? I need everything and I want my Mommy now!"
That's what the vet techs told me. She was wild.

Update on Allie's Lump. The first lump is healing nicely. Another lump appeared on her jawline or below it. It's barely noticable, but it's there. So to help with medical expenses, I opened up The Allie Fund for her. (I'm going to see if I can post it first.)
Update on Allie's Lump! I know it's been a long while since I posted on here. Well, Dec. 4. Oh well. That's okay. I've been worrying over Allie far too long and went to the vet for her biopsy report. Tired of waiting, stressing, and staying up late til 4-5 AM in the morning. I went down there and they started looking for the baby. Well, the baby's home under her lights. They wanted to see her and look at her stitches. Now if I was emailed or called, I would've known to bring her in for an early check up.
However, the first lump is Not Cancerous which is good news to me. That's great news to be exact.
Now for the bad news: It is Bacterial in nature. Meaning it's a Bacterial Infection that needs treatment with antibiotics. They didn't give me an antibiotic to give to her to battle this second lump.
However, the second lump is Shrinking down to size. So that means her immune system could be fighting it.

So glad to hear it's not cancerous. I was worried when you hadn't updated her condition(and I was too afraid to ask). Good that the second one is shrinking and since it's shrinking does she still need antibiotics? What would have caused it?
I'm not sure. It could have been a retained shed? I'm not entirely sure. They're not treating it yet. I've been so worried about her. I just started going to bed at 1 AM instead of 4-5 in the morning. And waking up tired. :/
It drives me crazy how much these little creatures make us worry about them. I look over every little bit of Dexter's body every day and if her color is off or something doesn't look like it did the day before I think she's dying! The other day I almost convinced myself that she had MBD because she was so relaxed and chill and wasn't pushing back on my hand when I played with her foot. I know I drive my boyfriend crazy!
You have to get your sleep though, you need to be well rested so you can take care of her. If your tired and worried, she's going to pick up on it and get stressed because you are.

Newest Update: The baby girl has just started sneezing and acting a bit different. She was eating her crickets today and lost interest in them. I thought, she's not interested in them and haven't heard anything from her today except she was really active and wanted her Mommy.
Tonight, she was settling to go to bed and she started sneezing. (No mucous coming out of her mouth, no wheezing, nothing. But I did give her some Baytril Generic tonight before bed and elevated her head tonight in her bed. I gave her 0.1 ccs dosage of 10 mb/ml. The lowest for now.
She weighs 453 grams or 1 lbs. 1 ounces according to the most recent vet weigh in. (I'm also going to see if the lump goes down with this treatment.
