You're the one who keeps me strong; you're the one who keeps me sane

I just found a lump on Spike's right inner thigh while I was giving him a belly rub. It's very small, hardish and moves around under the skin. Vet's appointment on Friday afternoon.

I know, rationally, that it's more likely to be something minor and harmless than not, but please send any good thoughts you can spare. The thought of anything happening to Spike leaves me unstrung.

Fatty lump. Once you've felt a few, you'll be able to recognise them.

Vibes coming your way anyway, because I know how it feels to find an unidentifiable lump on a beastie!

It's harder and smaller than I'd expect a fatty lump to be. Spike and Squish have never had one but my old dog Scampi had many, as did previous dogs once they got older than seven or so.

My own guess is a cyst or ingrown hair. Am managing to keep the panic under control but not happy. Thank you very very much.
