Lilysmom Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) This is a lesion/mass on the left side of Marx's chest, it's black in the middle and has raised red smaller lesions around it. Anyone ever seen this on their hound? update 3/27/10 Took Marx to the vet, she took a small sample to check for mast cells, there were none had her do bloodwork which came back fine. We both agreed this ugly thing has to come off. He has a few other lestions we are considering removing at the same time but I'm scared. Two of the lesions are on the side of his manlyness. I'm waiting for the estimate. I will most likely call Monday or Tuesday to schedule his surgery. Funny how things happen right before vacations. Marx is doing fine. I'll update when I have more info on when his surgery will be. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Edited March 27, 2010 by Lilysmom Quote Praying for all the missing greys!

macoduck Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 How long ago did you first notice it? It almost looks like a (benign) histiocytoma but don't trust me. Definitely needs a vet check now.

Lilysmom Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 it's been there a few months, it was very small at first, vet told me to keep an eye on it. Marx has multiple lesions on him.

tbhounds Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Looks nasty---I would have it removed and biopsied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Looks "nasty," like the others said. If it were one of mine, I'd get the vet to biopsy it. MIGHT be NOTHING, but, best to find out asap! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilysmom Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 i have a feeling this is probably another Cutaneous Hemangiosarcoma lesion. Marx had one removed from his leg last June. sigh......... this is a nasty spot to have a mass, i have also noticed that the small lesions he has around his, um....manlyness and on the side of his manlyness have grown. he will turn 10 on the 28th of this month, way too young for such big issues. All prayers and good thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Quote Praying for all the missing greys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Many prayers coming from here!!!!!!!!!!! That is for SURE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyMityMo Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 poor Marxy, hope it's nothing serious. Mr. Murphy goes in Wednesday to get a lump checked. I went ahead and scheduled surgery the next morning so I can just leave him. After Bailey I just want it gone regardless of how innocent it may be.

Meandmy Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 i have a feeling this is probably another Cutaneous Hemangiosarcoma lesion. All prayers and good thoughts would be greatly appreciated. That's what I would have guessed. Shadow had one that looked almost exactly like that. We'll be thinking of you and Marx.

Ruth Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Tess just had 7 removed last week. The Vet says they are beign hemagonias. Altogether we have had about 17 removed from Tess stomach and chest area. She is doing fine and goes back 28th to have the stitches removed. She will be 11 in Sept. She also had to toes removed because of beign tumors around the bones. She did well with that as well. She is on Antibiotic for another 2 days and then she's finishes with that.
