 bleeding lump on neck
6 year old Anna went to the vet today to have a lump removed from her neck. She had the lump when we got her in May. I assumed it was some sort of bite. She had to be shaved down due to a flea infestation. Her skin is not in the best condition. She has dandruff and itches a lot for no apparent reason. She was put on an antihistamine 3 weeks ago for the itching problem. The vet looked at her bump but didn't comment at that time. It seemed to be getting a little smaller and then got big again this weekend and it started bleeding. I took her back to the vet yesterday. He said it was a tumor and would not heal on its own so he is removing it today. He also said he felt a few other tumors under her skin. He told me not to worry because it was noncancerous. However, I am still concerned. How does he know that they are not cancerous? I go in to pick her up at 3. Should I ask him to do a biopsy? He is a wonderful vet and I do not want to undermine his opinion but I am worried that he might be wrong. |
