Health:
28th Jan 2009 - Mammary lump under right foreleg.
30th Jan 2009 - Lump removed. Post op check in 3 days.
22nd April 2009 - Ivermectin for mites. Mammary lump re-growing.
1st May 2009 - repeat Ivermectin.
7th May 2009 - Lump removed. Post op check in 2 days.
8th August 2009 - Lump under her tail. Nasty place for it, as the vet won't want to operate so close to her plumbing. Hoping it's an abscess, but it doesn't feel like one. Bigger than it should have been before I noticed it.
18th August 2009 - The lump is growing very fast. I need to take her back into the vets to be pts when the lump gets big enough to block her up. Scary. I don't want to do it too soon, but don't want her hurting.
1st September 2009 - The lump's growing slowly now. Still keeping a close eye on her.
5th September 2009 - Another lump. Maybe that's why the first one slowed down?
25th September 2009 - Still coping.
5th November 2009 - Three lumps. Beginning to affect her mobility, but she's coping well.
20th November 2009 - Going to have to let her go soon.

Temperament: Cheeky little minx.

About Isabella

Isabella came to us at 9 weeks old with her two sisters. She has a very pronounced myopic sway. She's a bold and friendly girl who likes to taste me regularly just to check that I'm not edible, very gently. I'm hoping she will grow out of this before it starts to hurt.
