Gavin has an external growth on his neck

To be fair, she didn't tell me it was cancer. She just told me it was a tumor, which I hadn't seen since Gavin wasn't returned to me yet. His records have his previous cancer and radiation in it, so I know I get more sympathy since we have been through this before and am obviously a caring dog owner. I was hoping it was an abcess hiding under all that matted fur. His ruff fur is just soo....fluffy. and with it being right where the colllar rests...

But Gavin is a trooper; he lays down and lets me clean and bandage it. I know all the vet techs loved him. I made sure everyone knew he was deaf but very compliant and sweet since they were going to be shaving his neck and cleaning up the area.

Sweet Gavin... he only knows kindness! As it should be! Stay strong... hugs!
 
All I can do is hope it is benign. like a sebaceous adenoma or hiostiocytoma. Still don't know how I never felt it as I groom him regularly and we do snuggle. hidden by that damn sheltie ruff! Even with his neck all wrapped in vet tape, you can't even tell with that huge fluffy ruff.
