I have a 3 yr old girl who I posted about last year because she had a cordoma on the tip of her tail and she had a fat neck. She had the cordoma removed and they were going to take a lymph node from her neck, but only removed a coupel of table spoons of fat. After that she has been fine, but getting very obese. Prior to her surgery a year ago I had an xray done and that vet had thought there was a mass in her chest but wasnt sure. I took that xray to the vet who did the surgery and he didnt say much about it. Now I wonder if she does have some kind of heart condition. I had a blood panel done on her and it was fine I was told. I didnt get a copy of it yet. Would an ultrasound be the best thing to do now.
