I'm officially worried
Update: Bubby is fine. Thank you for all of your comments, I will write a longer post soon. lots of love! xoxoxoxoxoox
So after I came home from the Shakira concert I noticed Bubby had a swollen lymph node by her groin area. With some antibiotics it went down, but then came back. Took her to the vet, the vet said to watch it and to come back if the area did not go down.
So anyway, this was all around early Novemberish? I thought her lymph nodes had gone down, but I felt them tonight and they felt biggish.
And now she cannot bark without coughing. (she usually only coughs when she tries to bark)
Previously, I thought she had that collapsed trachea problem - maybe that's what it is?
I am really worried because she has this cough now. I'm going to try to get her into the vet's as early as possible tomorrow.
Since I found the lumps early in November I'm afraid I let this go for too long... the thing is her lymph nodes seemed to go down. I had other people feel them and they thought the swelling was gone.. however... tonight... they felt big. =(
I don't know, I'm worried. Her birthday is in 3 days. She'll be 5.
I'm trying to mentally think of all of the things it could be... I know it's probably not a parasite since she's on heartguard, not kennel cough because she's not around another dog, there are no abrasions on her legs to cause lymph node swelling (Although there is a very small blood blister)...
Do any of these symptoms sound familiar to you? (Swollen lymph nodes around groin area and coughing in dogs)
Anyway, vet trip tomorrow.

I've always associated coughing with 'kennel cough' but not a swollen lymph node near the groin. I sure do hope Bubby is okay! Update me after the vet, please. I'll surely be worried about him until then. I remember my Aunt's boxer has cysts ALL OVER his body. It wasn't cancer but just growths. Oh, it was hideous. It was incurable. I hope that isn't Bubby's case.
@WordsandThoughts - Thank you for your input and personal experience! I will definitely update you.
I hope she is ok.
Off topic: Shakira is pretty hot.
My cat once had a big bump on her leg. A trip to the vet revealed it was just an infection. A frantic, panicky lancing (and a lot of scratching) and a stronger dose of antibiotics and she was fine.
Oh dear, can't say i'm to familiar with dog care at all... but I hope that it's something that can be taken care of!
I'm so sorry
keep us posted.
I hope it's a good prognosis.
Best of luck. I hope he gets better.
Aww.
I hope everything is okay! *hugs*
@TheTheologiansCafe - Lol, thanks for the smile.
@democrab - Thank you for your personal experience, glad your kitty is okay, I hope this is just an infection too.
@CPKviperphoenix - Thank you, I appreciate it!
i shall henceforth believe that bubby is going to be just fine. and after bubby's trip to the vet i had better *not* hear that i was in denial. GOT IT, SHIMMER?
ps: sounds like cat scratch fever. oh the irony.
-HUGGGGGGGGGS- Bubby will be okay.
My dad has a big dog like yours. He had some weird lumps like that and they ended up being cysts of some kind. I'm not a vet or a dog, but I had a swollen lymph node behind my ear. They thought it might be cancer, but it turned out that I had just had an infection at one point, and when I was better, it just didn't go back down. It's still like that, and I was 8 when it happened. Maybe she just hasn't quite gotten rid of the infection yet. I hope that's what it is. I love the doggies. Otherwise I would not keep mine even though he is sick fairly often.
hugs. Good luck with the vet, hopefully it will be ok. Sometimes dogs just catch colds too. I hope thats the case. <3
No idea. But I hope everything's going to be alright. Good luck! And o, shakira!!! I bet she danced around and such; lucky!
I hope she is ok. *Hugs*
Just inputting my thoughts for Bubby. Here's hoping for a good prognosis.
oh no
get well soon puppy. as animal lovers, it's bittersweet, being reminded of our pet's mortality.
AWE!
I hope she's okay.
I've never really heard of that :/
I hope everything turns out okay. sounds awful.
I'm sorry about all this - I'll be praying for him <3
I reread your post, she is coughing too?
Ah!I have no advice but I hope everything goes well!!
never had this happened to my dog. That or I never inspected her groin.
hope she's okay
Good luck for tomorrow honey - hope she's ok xxx
I wish you the best.
Oh no...so sorry to know that. Hope it will have a speedy recovery!
BIG PRAYERS. LOVE you.
Sure hope everything goes well and she's ok.
:[ :[ :[ prayers for your puppy shimmer. I hope he's okay. I know how torturous it is waiting to see if your loved ones(s) are going to be alright.
I have no idea what that could be,I know how much you love your Bubby and I hope and pray all is well. Love you.
Lymphadenopathy, swollen lymph nodes, can be caused by a lot of factors. I've linked you to an article that may help (or just freak you out).
http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/cancer/c_multi_lymphadenopathy
It could just be an allergy or infection. Is she eating/drinking normally (usually with swollen inguinal glands there is a level of discomfort when defecating)? Urinating/defecating normally? Any coughing, sneezing, vomiting or diarrhea? How is her activity level? How often has the lymph node been swollen? I'm a CVT (certified vet tech) and these are the questions I'd ask when taking a history and then present that information to the veterinarian. Obviously I cannot prognose or diagnose, but hopefully they ask the same sort of questions. Best of luck.
I'm sorry!! I hope she'll be ok! ::hug:: Sometimes minor infections can make the lymph nodes swell. I hope for the best!

That is terribly worrisome! It's just horrible when our little animals get even the smallest problem. They don't understand what is going on and their is so good relief for their suffering.
Awww, I hope Bubby will be ok.
Shimmer what's the story?
Oh... I'm so sorry to hear your pet is sick.
I don't like it when animals are hurting. Makes me sad for them... Hope yours gets better!
I've not had that happen with my dog, but I hope it goes away soon. Does it feel abnormally warm? If it does there could be an infection that she's fighting off in that area. The vet will be able to tell you more definitively. I hope there's good news.
He who did not have the courage to venture out after evening was walking all alone after wearing Replica Omega . If you do not believe it, why not try out some of these replica Rolex watches for yourself? They do not cost a lot and if you so want you can easily purchase replica Rolex watches for every day of the week.
I hope she's ok. Let us know the result of the vet trip.
I hope Bubby's okay! I don't have a dog, so I've no idea what those could be symptoms of. I'm completely useless here.
Good luck with your Pup. Poor Dog
Wish I knew what to tell you. =[[ I'll rec. Maybe someone I know knows.
=/
I hope everything works out for you!
