Haha, your're a good guy, Earl! Got your PM, thanks! I'll give her a call tomorrow and also discuss with my vet to possibly give her a call to discuss and share info as well. Will let you know how it goes!
And yes, you're right...I am going nuts with the strange lump on poor Jelly...and not feeling that the situation has been resolved...hoping he's not in major pain...and also receiving conflicting information from my vet which makes me wonder if I should really be seeking another professional opinion. Doh!
