Sharpeigirl Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 I've found a new lump on Sassy's side, this time on her hip.. This one has started out just red, now it's turning a black color & the vets aren't open till tomorrow :( I hope it's nothing serious, she's had one before and it went away, but this one isn't.. What do you think this might be?? Quote
courtnek Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 infected hair follicle maybe? I have had them, and they look kinda like that.... Quote
imported_Kat Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 It looks like a melanoma judging by its colour. Take her to your vet and get a biopsy done asap for peace of mind. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Paddy has one under his tail - vet told me it was just a wort I will try to get a photo of it Quote
Yoladybug Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Abby had a lump that looked like that. It felt very hard. The vet said it was an ingrown hair follicle...it took quite a while to go away (a few months). You're right to be worried though...hope it turns out for the best. Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 didn't she have a bump like this a few months ago that was red on the side of her> what did that turn out to be? Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted November 9, 2004 Author Posted November 9, 2004 It was an infected hair follicle & it went away, but it didn't turn black like this one has :o Tomorrow we go off to the vet, keep your fingers crossed for it to be the same thing.. :( Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted November 9, 2004 Author Posted November 9, 2004 I can't get her in till friday. :( I'm beyond worried about it.. :( Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Oh no! I can't wait till Friday comes, hope it isn't any bad news! :cry: Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted November 11, 2004 Author Posted November 11, 2004 Just a question if they do a biopsy will the just remove the whole thing, and send her home, or will they have to keep her?? Quote
courtnek Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 the biopsy is just a test. they wont remove anything until the results come back, so she may be able to go home right away. Most vets dont have labs on site to run the biopsy tests, they send them out to a regular lab... thoughts and prayers that she's ok.. :angel: :angel: Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 This is going to be an awfull wait to find out what it is!! I hope it's just a begnin(sp) lump & nothing more serious.. :( Quote
Sharpeigirl Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 Okay I now feel really really stupid for being so worried :oops: Wanna know what it was?? A stupid scab, all that worring for nothing :oops: I feel so silly for takeing her to the vet for a scab. At least they didn't charge me :lol: :drinking: :roll: Quote
Yoladybug Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Better safe than sorry...glad she's okay! Quote
