It's about 30 hours since we left the vet's office and things are looking up so far.
We're still waiting for the results of a series of blood tests but Ozzie presented with an elevated temperature and the doctor didn't like the congestion he heard in his chest. But ...
He got a shot of antibiotics and is now taking two different drugs twice a day. And now that he's had three doses -- he even LOOKS better and it's obvious he must feel better, too. That's the good news.
The bad news is that the lump is likely glandular and the doctor thought it could be hypothyroidism. (He could also be diabetic and he is a few pounds overweight.) But we'll wait 'til tomorrow to hear the test results. I'm feeling much more positive than I did yesterday. Sometimes it's wonderful to be wrong!
Thanks so much for all of the thoughts and prayers. Really, really appreciate those. You guys are the greatest!

YAY!! So happy to hear things are looking good so far! Not gonna let up on hopes or prayers until all results are in. A little extra never hurts.
Glad it's not as serious as it could have been! Will keep you and your furbaby in my thoughts!
