I was just thinking maybe you could put some soothing chamomile on the lump if its causing some discomfort.

| Is used for inflamation and spasms of the digestive tract, wouldn't have thought it would hurt. |

reubins lump is looking rather red still and sore from being licked , the vet said back along that worst case scenario was if the lump bursts , that explained to me was that it would ulcerate , get infected and then burst , im worried that one area of it looks as though it may be starting to ulcerate , so will be taking him back to the vets on monday . also his cough has got really bad tonight , worse than its been for weeks , and thats with him being on the high dose of his tablets that are meant to be to help his cough . the steroids are making him so hungry , he tried to steal my kit kat earlier whilst i was eating it ! i know steroids make them hungry , i had a lab who was on them most of his life ( doubley bad being as labs are always hungry anyway ) but iv just never seen reu like this , hes raiding bins when were out , before some days i had to try and persuade him to eat ! i just feel really helpless at the moment and dont know what to do for the best for him .  |

| sorry didnt quite make myself clear about the bin thing , he doesnt raid the bin at home , he goes looking in bins whilst we are out walking , to see if anyones left any food in them ! and theres a lady who puts bread on top of the bins for the birds , he goes straight to that and eats as much as he can reach ! |

| An update on reu , we`ve been back to the vets as his lump was looking so sore , it has started to ulcerate in one place ,mostly due to him licking it (which i spend most of my time trying to stop him doing ) hes got some cream to put on that area which he hates the smell of let alone the taste , so he leaves it alone when that has been administered ,but then straight back to it after . i dont want to use a buster collar if i can help it , my poor boy is distressed enough without that , iv tried putting a bandage on it but it wont stay on , so if anyones got any ideas please let me know . basically iv to stop him licking it , but if it starts to weep then he has to go back again , so heres hoping i can stop it getting worse . |

I am so sorry to hear that he is still in pain, I don't really know what else to suggest other than maybe contacting an animal homeopath to work in conjunction with your vet? ____________ Natalie and Co xxx
