Hi,
I asked a question a little while about about allergies, etc. The vet did a throat wash on my beagle mix a couple of days ago to see if there's an infection. We haven't gotten the results back but last night I noticed a lump under her skin on her stomach. It's right in the place where the surgery was done for her spaying. I know the lump just came up because previously I'd had the vet look her over in that spot. There had been some tiny lumps that the vet said were probably just part of the material used to close her and would go away eventually. The lump that is there now is the size of a marble, doesn't seem to cause any pain, and feels fairly hard. I know when they did the throat wash they put a tube in her throat, flushed in a saline solution and then sucked it back out. Is it possible that they could have caused a hernia? If not, what else could it be? I'm going to call the vet first thing tomorrow (Monday) and ask them, assuming it doesn't get any worse. Any ideas would be great! Thanks!
