impaction?

Anyone know how long impaction lumps can take to go away?
Poppy first got impaction (stomach and caecum) 6 weeks ago and was on a drip for 2 days, 2 weeks later it happened again. We suspect it was due to her snuffles making her feel bad. Anyway 4 weeks of daily Engymycin injections and other meds (grudually weaned her off cisapride, metacam, metaclopramide, zantac and vetergesic) and she is back to herself, eating, drinking pooing and no nore snuffles, she has been off all meds since yesterday which was her last metacam and engymycin.

Anyway to cut a long story short she still has a lump in her belly, I think it is her stomach and not caecum now. She has 20ml of fluids orally morning and evening. I am worried it is something more sinister. She will be seeing the vet tomorrow anyway. Just worried about her :(
 
Are you sure you mean the lump is in her stomach ?? :?

Could it be a mesenteric lymph node that you are feeling ?
 
I'm not sure, she isn't being very cooperative and letting me feel very well, it feels in the stomach area. What could it mean if it is the gland?

It could mean several things or nothing !!

I'd try not to stress about 'what ifs' and see what the Vet's findings are tomorrow :)

Easier said than done I know xx
 
I know! My normal vet is on holdiay until Monday and my back up vet is day off, so she is coming to work with me for possible xrays and some more bloods.

Thanks Jane :) xx
 
Where are you feeling the lump exactly?

I kept feeling a lump on Bella's left side (when sat facing away from me) and got really worried about tumours etc., only to be told by the vet it was her stomach which was probably full due to her just having eaten :oops:
 
She I coming in for xrays tomorrow, was hoping to do it today but work was crazy, then she is having an ultrasound on friday with my back up vet (we had a long chat today). She is still fine and lively and eating. I am not experienced enough to be able to say where the lump really is but all I know is that my others don't have the lump. Really really worried.
