Grown Back
by Jackieb Fri Dec 02 2011, 14:29
Oh well... 
Diesel's 'hystiocytoma' has grown back in exactly the same place as the origional one she had before which was surgically removed.
Looks bloody awful, but dosent seem to cause her any pain and luckily its in a place where she cant scratch/chew/lick it.
Ive been told it should resolve on its own [after a cpl of months] and they are apparently very common.....
Its 1 thing after another

Been looking them up on the net. They appear to be quite common (never heard of em before, but what do I know? 
), and usually 'regress' after a couple of months.
Hopefully this one will go that way as well. If it doesn't shrink, will it have to be removed again?

Eww! How awful looking, but doesn't seem to pose any danger to them long-term. Hope it goes away!
