Beckon Has a Tumor: Not Good

I'm sure that Beckon is embarrassed by his OOPS on the carpet....aftereffects of surgery are no fun at all whether you are canine or human.

I'm glad the procedure went well, and hoping for an uneventful recovery (no more squishes in the house!)
 
Oh Chris, I'm so sorry I didn't see this earlier. Poor Beckon and you, who was so worried sick.

Sadie has something similar to that on her face, my vet calls it an Epidermal Cyst. Sadie's isn't that read though and is more of a pink color. It scared me so much when I found it, especially because it has veings all over it. :eek2: Here's a photo of it:

When you find something like that you always feel like a bad Mom, but they do come up very fast. Since Sadie's is on her cheek and still growing (its now about twice the size as it was in that photo) I will probably have it removed eventually, but I'm going to wait a bit. Sadie has already been through enough.

I hope that it doesn't take too long to get the results and that Beckon is all healed up soon :smile2:

Thanks so much! I hope Sadie's cyst settles, too. I know what you mean -- I just hate having to subject them to surgery. :no:

Gypsy had one on her back it went from the size of the tip of my pinky to the size of the tip of my pointer finger in just a few months. I had it removed when they did exploratory surgery of her bladder since she was already under and it was not cancerous. Would've had it removed sooner if the vet thought it was a problem but he didn't feel it was and just said to remove if it seemed to bother her. I also have noticed Chandler itching his neck this past week and upon checking found one on him yesterday. I'll call the vet today.
