lump on bellyPosted by: JoyceCategory: Medical Posted on: August 28, 2002 at 04:30:33

| Question: I bought a 2 1/2 mth old JRT a few days ago from a pet store. She's a very active and happy pup, but sadly, there are a few problems with her. Yesterday, we found a soft lump on the underside of her belly. We're concerned but due to financial problems, we're only able to send her to the vet 2 weeks later. Is the lump life threatening? I tried pressing on it gently and she doesn't seem uncomfortable. Also, she doesn't appear to be affected by the lump, though there's been traces of blood in her faeces, which is slightly watery. And,her belly seems to be slightly bloated. How serious is her condition? And how long can we afford to wait before we take her to see the vet?
