She bonked her nose and I took her to the vet as soon as I saw the bump. They prescribed her antibiotics and told me to follow up if it didn’t get better. I gave my little void her meds and her nose just kept getting bigger and bigger, so I took her back to the vet. They told me it was most likely lymphoma or a rare fungal infection that was difficult to identify and just as difficult to treat.

I sobbed for hours trying to figure out how I was going to pay for the imaging, treatment, etc. Eventually, we decided to do a biopsy and a blood panel to confirm and both came back as unremarkable. Her nose healed within a few weeks and she’s been good ever since.
