maximum Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) DH has Max at vet to take a look at a lump. He has had it for a while on his hip/thigh area (right on that nice big butt muscle greys have!) and vet has checked it at each visit and deemed it unsuspicious. But over the past month or so, it has grown quite a bit and now has weird spike-like growths on it (two of them, small, maybe half a centimetre and thin, but new). "Conintuined un-suspicious & totally benign" thoughts would be appreciated. <chanting I'msureit'snothing,justaweirdgrowthI'msureit'snothing,justaweirdgrowthI'msureit'snothing,justaweirdgrowth I'msureit'snothing,justaweirdgrowth> Max says thanks!

Guest BoogieDown Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 It's just a weird growth. That's all. I'm sure of it. It's nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximum Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well, the boy is home with a few stitches and some lovely metacam. The vet decided to take it off right away, but according to DH, didn't have much else to say about it. I can't decide if this is good or bad! It worries me a little that she took it off right away (the appointment was to just take a look at it, so I guess it looked bad enough... ). The results will be back early next week...hopefully very early, so I don't have a lot of time to fret.. If you could keep thinking positive thoughts for Max, I would appreciate it.

Guest Che_mar_Cody Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Positive thoughts here! For me I would just stare at it and imagine it getting bigger or looking worse if it was there. I'd be glad it was removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KF_in_Georgia Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I wouldn't worry about the vet removing the lump immediately. That may be nothing more than just her thinking that the lump looked uncomfortable and that removing it right away would make Max more comfortable and would lessen the anxiety you and your DH would be feeling if you had to wait for surgery at a later date. Also, the vet might have had a cancellation of a later appointment. (Every time I try to second guess why my vet has done something unexpected, I wind up guessing something scary, and later find out it was nothing.)

Guest multiplicity Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Oh Max-Max, I hope you are nice and "happy" on your Metacam. Murphy has a lump that Michelle wanted to remove but we requested that she just do an aspirate first. It turned out to be benign but she wanted to remove it anyway. We decided against it since Murph is 12yrs and we don't want any unnecessary procedures done on him. I hope all Max's results are negative and his boo-boo heals fast!
