The vet performed surgery to try to reduce the size of the lump, so she now has a fat bandage over the site and I get to give her 5 penicillin shots over a 10 day period. He said that she could be kept in training, but to take it easy for a bit, so we are just continuing on with her groundwork and trying to get her to relax more with the Jefferies Method.
