Hi everyone

I wrote in another post about a red bump I found on my Yorkie. It's located on his belly over the bottom of his rib cage. After a biopsy they found it was benign plasmacytosis. It's located in the skin and they recommended surgery, but I can't get any straight answers.

First, has anyone had a dog who has had this and who has not had the surgery to remove it?

I am confused, because they say it's benign and that it won't spread, but at the same time they recommend removal.

Any help greatly appreciated. I want to do what's best for my little guy. I was shaking while waiting for them to give me the results over the phone.
