I neglected to mention this sooner because I didn't know how to word it, but here we go.
Mom and I (and Terry =3) went with Nimue (my dog) to the vet, because it looked like she had a UTI (she does). While there, the vet also found three lumps either close to or on her mammary glands. Because of the proximity, the vet was worried, worried enough to admit that she had concerns that it was cancer.
*deep breath*
So yeah, I'm not very happy right now. I'm trying to put it in perspective (she's not that old, so it's fixable, they could be fatty globules, etc etc), but it's hard when you've already lost two pets in the span of one year. The only thing we can do is ascertain as to whether or not it's cancer, which means tests and the like, but still, that looming cloud is always gonna hover until it's all sorted out, and it may never go away...
EDIT: Tests begin tomorrow. They're going to do a thingie test that checks to see what they lumps are and if they've spread. From there, it should be easy to guess what it is that she has, and how to fix it. ;.;
SECOND EDIT: Because of Nim's UTI, we're going to wait until she's better before we do the tests. Which means two weeks of heartburn, worry, and anticipation, but it's better than putting Nim through undue stress while she's already in pain.
