Time4ANap Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I came home from a trip last night and found a large bump on Rocket's nose. He has a vet appointment coming up so I will have it checked further there. Was wondering if anyone has an idea what kind of growth this might be. There has always been the feeling a small bump under the fur there, but this popped up through the fur sometime in the last 4 days while I was gone. It is not hurting, as he always has me rub his nose and there is no reaction when I go over it. The bump in the center of the nose. The other little pink spot near the tip of the nose is just the color of the skin there. Quote Camp Broodie. The current home of Mark Kay Mark Jack and Gracie Kiowa Safe Joan.

XTRAWLD Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hmmm, looks to me like those lumps and bumps that show up around the body from time to time. Let us know what the vet thinks!

That's what I was thinking. He had one on his hip at one point about the same size, but that ended up being huge when they removed it. It was just a benign lump of some type. Quote Camp Broodie.

macoduck Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Might be a histiocytoma. If so, they are harmless and will go away in a few months. Vet check if you are iffy about it.

Time4ANap Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hope it is just one of those “old man” bumps! I recently had my doctor check out a small patch on my skin. She said it was an "old people barnacle." Great....Thanks Doc.... Might be a histiocytoma. If so, they are harmless and will go away in a few months. Vet check if you are iffy about it.

socalgreys Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 i always worry about those bumps...just me. Little Man had a bump above his upper jaw that turned out to be a cyst...non cancerous. It did invade the bone...poor little guy. It was not in the placement you show here...still...I would have a Vet check it out. I just worry about anything that seems abnormal...take your lovely guy to vet, to ease your mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Carl had something that looked like that. The vet had me give him 2 30cc Thuja pellets and they were gone within a few weeks and never returned. You can buy Thuja at a health food to store or on Amazon.
