NeylasMom Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Any ideas on this? It looks like a mole, its about the size of a pea, and I think it appeared relatively quickly. She's on Apoquel and I recall some skin things being a possible side effect so want to make sure I'm on top of it if its potentially something dangerous. This is Skye, btw, my 40 lb mixed breed.

JohnF Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Though it isn't very dark, it needs to be looked at because of the slightly irregular 'veiny' edges. I think its one of those times when you have to pay vet fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more trying to gauge urgency because I'm in the process of moving (as in movers are coming at 8:30 am tomorrow and I'm still packing ) and listing my condo for sale.

cleptogrey Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 if it isn't raised than i would watch it. it could be from a bite or his nibbling. wait a week, move in and compare. you now have a picture as a record. good luck unpacking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks! I remembered Violet has acupuncture on Tuesday and my vet is going out of town for nearly a month at the end of June so I scheduled an appt for Skye while we're there Tuesday to be safe. If its nothing she'll likely only charge me a short visit fee and we're going anyway so no harm done if its nothing. Of course if its gone by then I won't take her.

smurfette Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Take a permanent marker and draw a circle around it. So you can see if it grows. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language.

tbhounds Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Take a permanent marker and draw a circle around it. So you can see if it grows. Humm-no. If the veterinarian wants to biopsy that area the ink will make a pathologist really upset. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnF Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Take a photo of it against a ruler or small object of known size. Edited June 9, 2017 by JohnF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Good news, it was nothing! My vet saw her Tuesday and said sometimes they get pustules that come and go quickly and it could be from that. I was skeptical, but yesterday I noticed it was going away and today the rest of it just peeled off kind of like after you get sunburn.

JohnF Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 That is fantastic news and an encouragement to others that the diagnosis is more often than not probably going to be a benign one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
