Lumps Popping Out on Sheltie!

[Cindy]

Sadly the compress thing isn't gonna work on this one for Gavin.
It's on his chin It gets messy and bloody quite easily and takes a long time to heal up (and you can't really bandage the poor guy's mouth closed!). I might have to have it removed if it doesn't go away on its own. The only thing I have found that works on healing up the bloody sore bit is liquid bandage stuff, but it takes a long time.

It came on really suddenly, right after I got back from a week of Christmas vacation I started to notice it. I don't think it is a coincidence; they say these things are due to immune system relapses. I haven't figured out a good way to feed him his vibrant pets when he is being boarded but I will need to.

I'm glad my vet did needle biopsies on all of the lumps and came up with strictly fat cells!
The couple of little round lumps she has on her back are Sebaceous Cysts and one of my horses gets them now and then too. Both my equine vet and my dog vet have said the same thing about them-leave them completely alone. Messing with them and trying to get them to "pop" can
lead to horrible infections.:sadsmile:

Ok, that's one opinion, I had a regular Vet do the needle deal, and discussed treatment naturally with holistic vet and retired country vet who recommended what I did. I guess it comes down to what you are most comfortable with, you do your research and forge ahead. There are always options and choices
