Lump on Elbow/Joint - Page 2

sarahann · 03-19-2008, 11:18 PM

Vet said Manchego should be fine. She took a sample of the fluid for some lab work to be sure but she said she doesn't drain them because they heal better on their own. She recommended a hot compress for 10 min 3x a day.

She said it's likely from an injury or banging his knee on something and the fluid collects around the injury.

Thanks for the concern everyone!! I will post again when I get the lab results!

Sarah , Manchego & Brie!

I'm very glad to hear the good news

No word from the vet yet but just in case anyone needs info on this in the future here is a link. It's called 'elbow hygroma' and is caused by repeated trauma to the joint most likely from lying on a hard surface.

I've confirmed what my vet said online that you shouldn't drain the fluids.

Hope ya'll are having a great day!
