Appointment made for tomorrow to check out the lump

Well, I rang the vet, and Fiona answered, so I told her we'd found a lump like the one he had a few years ago, but on the other side. Like me she was rather surprised that with all our prodding and poking we hadn't seen it before, so I'm guessing that it's come up pretty quickly. She would have been happy to see him today if I'd wanted her to, but neither of us think a day either way is going to be critical, so she's booked him in for 9:40 tomorrow morning.

She mentioned aspirating the lump, but as it seems most likely that it'll be a tumour like the last one, she's assuming that he'll probably be admitted, and asked me not to feed him in the morning. This then gives her the option to remove it straight away if appropriate.
