tegk68 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 OK this is the score. I've had Cassie over 4 months now and don't therefore have much knowledge of her prior health. She came to me with this huuuuuuge wart thing (not one of her best features!). It's not attached in that you can wiggle it around, so to speak and it stands proud like a little hillock in a mound of grass! You can visibly see the holes where the hair should come out but there is no hair on it . It's about the size of a 10 to 50p piece. Anyways, I took her to the vet for a check over 3 or so months ago and pointed out this beauty. The vet said it was a warty thing and not to worry about it. However he did say if it grew (which I don't think it has) or bled then I should take her back. As can be seen by the poor quality photo, it is bleeding! This is the second time in as much as a week that it has done this. I first gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking she may have caught it on something but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't take her straight to the vets since this is the second time. She doesn't itch it and seems very well in herself. So can anyone suggest what it might be and whether she should have it off and sent away for analysis etc? Thanks so much Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think if the vet said you should take her back if it changed/bled, then you should take her back to them. Hopefully it won't be anything sinister but at least it will give you peace of mind. for the beautiful Cassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I would take her back to the vet. It may simply have bled because it gets caught against things, but better removed. One of my dogs had a similar thing and it was removed. The results were "inconclusive" but there was no further trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our little godsend Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 no advice sorry but it looks really sore. to Cassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9Fran Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Don't worry too much - my dear old boy, long since gone over the Bridge, but not due to any warty things, had something similar on the side of his face - it would bleed when he scratched it and the vet removed it with no problems following its removal. Best get it sorted ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegk68 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thank you all. I am calling the vets for an appointment this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Any news for Cassie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegk68 Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 OOo yes. Went to the vets and he thought that it was OK. He could see (for some reason better than me), that it had been scratched - hence the blood. So isn't haemorraging (sp)! However he did say if she does keep catching it then it might be better off and if they do they could send it away to be analysed if I want. So have to keep my beady eye on her, which I'm doing. Of course now it hasn't bled once since we've been. Rather feel like the 'balls in my court' which wasn't the purpose of the vet appointment, well not at least in my book lol! I am thinking that if it happens again, I'll take her in and get it removed. It's a GA job so not nice for her but she's a little trooper so I'm sure she'll be OK Thanks for asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
