Guest ss556 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 It's hard to see the pic, but Alan had something growing and I put a picture here and I was told it was a skin tag. Hoping it's nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeh2o Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 It looks like a blood blister to me, too. If it is healing it may well be very dark in color. Is it tender to the touch or bothering him at all? I'm hoping you have a good report at the vet's tomorrow. From the doggy dude ranch, Carl says hi and sends good doggy vibes to his pal, Wayne.

RobinM Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 yeah- it looks like a blood blister that is full and the reason it's so dark is that the blood is old. Is it bothering him at all?

Guest HoustonGreys Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I like all the thoughts that it's just a blood blister. There can NOT be ANYTHING wrong with Wayne! I'll be praying for a good vet visit with a quick fix! for Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawthorn Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 When my two had growths that looked like blood blisters but didn't go away after a few weeks, I had them removed. One was a cutaneous hemangioma and one was an angiokeratoma. Both were benign but the pathology report said that if left they can sometimes progress to the malignant form, cutaneous hemangiosarcoma, so I was really glad I'd had them removed. Not saying that's what Wayne's got, but hoping for something benign in any event . Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. 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...
CaliforniaGreys Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 We're just back from the vet. Not a blood blister, it's a melanoma. The vet suggests to have it frozen off and I have to take Wayne to another vet because my vet's office doesn't have liquid nitrogen. Only one vet here in the desert has it and he's on vacation until the 6th. Then we hope it doesn't grow back.

Only one vet here in the desert has it and he's on vacation until the 6th. Then we hope it doesn't grow back. Also note there's an oral melanoma "vaccine." It's curative, so "vaccine" is in quotes like that. I'm not sure if it is to be used for when you get bits frozen off and get clean margins, or if it's only to be used when you KNOW there's tumor cells present, but you might check with a specialist to see if it has an application here.

CaliforniaGreys Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Good thing you went in! How quickly did this thing show up? All of a sudden? I'm going to say all of a sudden unless it was so small I never saw it.And I brush Wayne's teeth so I think I would have seen it. The vet did say that 94% of these are not malignant, but the %'s didn't help with Misty's Cushings so that didn't mean much to me Edited December 27, 2008 by cbudshome Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickiesmom Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The 6th must seem like an eternity but hopefully this will be well behaved in the meantime. Agree with AHicks - check out the vaccine - there was an article about it in Whole Dog Jourmal a year or so ago - I may still have it.

Since the percentages did NOT work in Misty's favor, I'm INSISTING they be in Wayne's favor! He's on my prayer list. I know the 6th can't get here fast enough for you.

RobinM Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Teddy had a white looking one on the roof of his mouth. When he was roaching, shortly after I adopted him I noticed what looked like a tooth growing from the roof of his mouth. It would up being benign and has not grown back so far in 2 years. They told me it could.
