First, thank you everyone for your comments and well wishes! We made the decision to try a conservative approach, as she would not be able to undergo a surgery at her age. So her veterinarian advised there was no point in aspirating the lump. She felt that putting her through the pain of the needle aspiration, when we wouldn’t be able to surgically do anything, was unnecessary. We decided to treat it with antibiotics, and see if that helped. Fortunately, they are helping, as she is walking on that paw now. (Fingers crossed she continues to improve).

For now we are cautiously optimistic that we will have our girl with us for a little longer.

I pray the antibiotic takes care of it.
