Strange lump !!! Empty Strange lump !!!

Post by hollymolly Sun Dec 02 2012, 20:22

I noticed this raised bump on Sky's chest (just infront of her arm pit) about a week ago and didn't really think anything of it but kept a regular check on it and every 2 or 3 days it looks abit more aggressive than the last time i saw it ...
Any idea's what it could be ...

Sometimes it looks like a big solid blood blister but iv'e just rolled it between me fingers an it feels abit like a small ball bearing..
Am gunna ring the vets tomoz to see about getting her in to get it checked but i just wanted to see what everyone else had to say...

Benin tumour, although you've been there before? Doesn't look like a tick or anything, sure its nothing sinister Xx

Could be a benign tumour, but could also be a blocked hair follicle!

Best to get it checked, though.

Looks just like the hystiocytoma my Diesel had a year ago.

Very red, round, painless. Get the get to check it. Usually they will go down on their own after some weeks.

Post by hollymolly Mon Dec 03 2012, 20:05

Well folks i took Sky the vet this morning and the minute he saw the lump he told me (his words !!) 'oh dear that doesn't look good an it needs removing ASAP' .. he also said he would eat his hat if it wasn't an aggressive tumour an if he needs to put a number on it he would say 10% it is benign an 90% aggressive tumour Crying or Very sad .

She is booked in to have it removed this thursday ....
My poor little girl has been through the mill in her short 8 mnths of life i dont know

Oh, no. But look on the bright side - it could be benign. Keep that thought in your heart!

Bless ur heart x

It really does look like a hystiocytoma , my girl had hers removed, and had about 7 stitches. It was on her side an inch or so from her armpit.
The vet warned that it may be nasty. Took 3-4 days for the resukts to come bk as a benign tumour calked a hystiocytoma. Even when removed they can come bk, and sure enuff Diesel had 2 more smaller ones appear then disappear within a month.
Wishing u the best x

Got everything crossed for you!! Been there with my girl and it's not nice.. the vets aren't always right though! Biscuit had an aggressive malignant melanoma removed a year ago and I was told she had less than 6 months to live! She's since had two lumps come up that the vets were sure would also be cancerous but both were benign! You never know! Chin up Smile x

I'm willing to bet it is benign. Make sure he eats his hat. Honestly, hope things turn out fine. They sure know how to cause us to fear.
