Pink spot on/by dogs nose.

[The Rotrex Kid]

Just wondering if any of our resident vets/dog experts can give me their thoughts on this. Appeared a few weeks back on our Scotties nose, well next to it.

It’s definitely grown a bit but not hugely, she doesn’t seem to be in pain or uncomfortable and you can push on it and she’s not bothered. Some Googling suggests a ‘mast cell tumour’ and that it’s likely benign. Trip to the vets to be told the same or more worrying?

As an update, went to see the vet, they thought it might be a sting or could be something more serious, hard to know.

Prescribed some drugs for a week to stop her itching it, over that week it pretty much doubled in size, went back and they tried to take an FNA sample which Daisy absolutely did not want.

Booked in again and yesterday she was under general anaesthetic and had a biopsy/lump removal. Results will be back this week hopefully.

I’ll update again when I can.

Cheers. She looks very, very annoyed in her cone of shame!

Results are in. It’s a round cell tumour and benign stitch will come out on Saturday and then hopefully it will go down over the next few months. Vet doesn’t seem overly worried.

Virtually gone now! Looking really good.
