macoduck Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) 2/11/20 update: The stem-like growth is gone. The pea-sized lump just under the skin is still there. Vet got it to ooze some clear fluid but there was no blood. Recheck in 2 weeks if that lump doesn't go away, then we'll consider surgery. Update: This is a ruptured cyst. Vet says it is not related to the anal glands or rectum because there was no odor and of the location. However I did learn that sometimes anal glands can "migrate", but Lulu's hadn't. Felt more dermal to the vet. On antibiotics and will be rechecked in a week. Lulu the podeco has a vet appt this morning. This stem-like growth appeared over the weekend. It's at the 10 o'clock position beside her anus so not really near anal glands. No foul odor or discharge, just blood. I can feel a thickening or pea at the base of it.

DaisyDoodle Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 My CoCo has suspected Degenerative Myelopathy and had odd growths with discharge in her anal region (among other symptoms). At the time, this was thought to be related to the DM.

ShebasMom Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Humans can get hypertrophied anal papilla; maybe hounds, too? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also had other growths, some on her feet too. Do you have any other pictures? (Sorry I didn't see this til now.)
