Lilysmom Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I noticed this on Marx's right rear leg on the inside a couple of weeks ago. Took him to the vet a few days after I noticed it, had it drained (it was full of blood), vet said it was nothing to worry about. Now today I noticed that it's back and filled with blood. Marx is not in any pain and doesn't seem to be messing with it. Anyone else's grey ever have a lesion like this? It looks like a blood blister, very superficial on the skin. I'm thinking I may have to have it surgically removed to prevent it from coming back. Here are some pics of it: Quote Praying for all the missing greys!

HopeForHounds Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Did your vet look at the blood under a microscope? I'd be tempted to have it removed so it doesn't keep bleeding. I'd also have them send it out for pathology just to be sure.

When she aspirated the first lesion it ended up scabbing up after a day. I just realized in those pictures it looks like a melonoma lesion but it is definately all blood filled.

Guest Spencers_Greyt Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Do you have a dog door? My foster Buzz had something similar and it was from him scraping his leg on the dog door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no dog door. The lesion is on the inner portion of his lower leg. Quote Praying for all the missing greys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Piila Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Abbey has one of those on his rear right knee joint - it scabs over (black thick scab) and comes off regularly, bleeds like crazy, and scabs over again. I've never had it removed and it doesn't seem to bother him. Someone suggested it was wart-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawthorn Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Both mine had something similar. I had them removed: one turned out to be a cutaneous hemangioma and the other was an angiokeratoma. Both were benign, but the pathologist stated that if left they can sometimes progress to the malignant form - cutaneous hemangiosarcoma.

The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Wally just had 2 lesions removed, both benign. One of the lesions looked like that and it was on his inner thigh. Bled like crazy when the vet picked at it. Pathology report on both came back as vascular hamartoma. I'd certainly keep an eye on Marx's lesion. An ordinary scab from a nick of some kind wouldn't bleed that much. An history of a clotting disorder? Hope it's nothing or at least something simple.
