constancecaldes

Her bruises are fading, especially on her hind end. She is eating and happy. She wants to play which I am not allowing. I didn’t notice a fluid filled bump on her back today to the left of her spine. It is not tender and it’s definitely not a tumor but rather very much moving fluid. I think if people are going to make comments that they think it might be certain types of blood cancer they should give more information because that’s very alarming. Her blood tests are all normal.

Thank you for your replies. The urgent care vet did put her on Aminocaproic acid and drew boundary lines with a marker. it is not spreading after 36 hours. She had not had any blood draws and had always been on leash.

My greyhound has sudden excessive bruising on her outer hind, inner back legs and stomach. I took her to an emergency vet. They suspected clotting and or liver issues as possible causes. All blood work came back normal. An ultrasound of her belly near the bruising was normal. So, the cause is unknown. Vasculitis is a possibility, but the culprit (bacteria, bug bite, other allergy) is a complete mystery. She is 9 years old and has been very healthy the 7 years she has spent with me other than bad teeth. She is on an antibiotic in case and also something for Fibrin. No one I speak to has ever had a dog with this problem. I am scared that there is some unknown underlying condition but am hoping its a strange allergic reaction. She is happy, eats, drinks and behaves normally. Any input would be appreciated. We moved into a newly built condo 5 weeks ago, so she was stressed.
