Black bump? 1 Attachment(s) I found this black lump/bump on Magnus's back leg. I thought it was a tick at first but it wasn't. He didn't seem bothered by it at all even when I examine it. I'm taking him to the vet today to get it looked at but wanted to see if anyone saw this before. It's soft, totally black, and I think there's some hair sticking out of it too. Could it be a wart? Picture isn't totally clear but I couldn't get the phone to focus too close.. Attachment 405516 |
I can't really tell if it's raised or not...? It may just be a mole or freckle...my Wylie has some of those. I hope it's just something minor - do let us know what the vet says :)! |
By the pic it looks like the bump is surrounded by more black? Is that the case? Or the whole black spot is raised? Uni has had several weird bumps, and they came back after testing as follicular cysts. After three times I decided to stop paying for testing. Once she had a bump on her foot. After they took a sample a few weeks later it swelled and turned totally black. It was about the size of a small tapioca pearl. It stayed on her foot for maybe more than a year, then it just fell off. No sign of it whatsoever. So weird. |
It's good to have it checked out. Let us know what the vet says when you can. |
Vet suggested biopsy. When she look at the sample, she saw "black pigment" and she "thinks" it's nothing dangerous. But it's not something she usually sees so she wants to make sure it's nothing cancerous. It'll take couple days so I'll update everyone once I hear back. Everyone send some good thoughts please! |
I hope your furbaby comes up clear. It's always best to play it safe. |
Vet just called and said the test came back negative. And I was wrong before. It wasn't biopsy, it was cytology. She said it came back negative and since there's hair on the bump, there's 90% chance it's benign. Vet says it might be just a mole. She recommended we remove it "to be safe". But I think I'm going to keep an eye on it to see if it gets bigger. I don't want to put him under if it's not really necessary. |
