dlgwarner Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We recently discovered a hard marble-sized lump on one of Paul's ribs. I' m so scared that it's osteo. I know that rib is an unusual presentation for osteo, but I just lost Paul's litter mate Ringo to osteo in September. He had it growing from the vertebrae in his neck. He goes to the vet on Tuesday night and I'm going to ask the vet to x-ray and perhaps schedule a biopsy. If it is osteo, I'm praying removal of his rib is an option. He's only six years old and I couldn't bear to lose him, especially so soon after Ringo. Please send good vibes his way. I'll keep you posted Quote Mom to: Littermates Ringo (Pak Sgt Pepper)at the bridge, Paul (Pak Penny Lane) and John (Pak Let it Be). The three reunited Beatle Brothers.

My Goldie, 11, has a lump on the end of her rib cage. It was diagnosed as a fatty tumor That would be what Paulie has, too! Good Luck!

KF_in_Georgia Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I know it's scary, and you definitely want to check it out, but my Sam has knobby lumps on his rib cage--has had for years. When he lies on his side and exhales, all his ribs show--and the bumps, too. See the first couple of really visible ribs? And the bumps about midway down his side? The top photo is a recent one (August). The bottom photo (where Sam is 6 years old) is from 2006--same bumps showing where his fur ends and his bare chest begins. Quote Kathy and Q (CRT Qadeer from Fuzzy's Cannon and CRT Bonnie) and Jane (WW's Aunt Jane from Trent Lee and Aunt M); photos to come. Missing Silver (5.19.2005-10.27.2016), Tigger (4.5.2007-3.18.2016), darling Sam (5.10.2000-8.8.2013), Jacey-Kasey (5.19.2003-8.22.2011), and Oreo (1997-3.30.2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
