Buttercup has a strange lump

It looks like we will be having another visit from the vet. Buttercup has a strange lump on her neck. It came up very quickly yesterday. As soon as we saw it, we wormed her in case it is bottle jaw which is a swelling which is a side effect of anemia cause by intestinal worms. However it could also be an absess or infection caused by something she has eaten, so unless it has gone down tomorrow we will call the vet. Expensive business having animals! She seems to be eating fine and apart from the lump seems healthy, a little grumpy maybe.

It was hard leaving Doug to cope with the situation and run off to the airport, but such is life.
