Question
Hi Sandra,

Thank you for that, I am just answering the questions you asked me which was if i think it could have been there for a while without me noticing or i thought it came out of the blue, well i dont handle him everyday, maybe twice a week but it is quite possible that there has been a lump just below his stomach for a short amount of time without me noticing.

You also asked me "Is there fur on this lump or is it a fleshy mass?"
there is actually a bit of hair on the lump.

Thirdly you said you could help me finding someone that you know that could help me out, you probably wont be able to help me with that part after me telling you that i live in Australia, New South Wales, Sydney

Thanks,
Jesse
