Fold a fresh band-aid type adhesive bandage over it twice a day to protect the tip from trauma caused by wagging into furniture etc (I use these to keep the weight down)Ĥ. Use antibiotics (I would use cephalexin) for as long as necessary, even 6 weeks if you can see improvementģ. This is much bigger than for, let’s say, a neutering wound, and therefore you need to make special care that he can access food and water with it on.Ģ. Apply an elizabethan collar (your vet will fit one) large enough that he can’t lick the tail tip AT ALL FOR 100% OF THE TIME. First, keep in mind that no one can be sure so be careful with my advice.

Please advise me on how I might possibly protect her from getting more of these and how to treat the one that she now has. But now, I feel a similar lump on her back in front of her tail.ĭo you think these are allergic reactions to bites? She doesn’t have fleas but we have tried to eradicate the ant population in the yard! How should I treat these?Īnd #2, wouldn’t it have been easier and cheaper to drain the first lump or to drain then do a round of antibiotics or something than than to do such a drastic and expensive surgery? Soon, it decreased in size and today, you can’t even tell it was there.
I put cold compresses on it a couple of times a day and gave her her allergy meds regularly. I knew he would immediately want to do surgery so I didn’t take her back. But it grew to about 2 inches just like the other one. When I took her back to have her drainage tube removed, I showed our vet another little lump on the opposite side. Since then, I have become paranoid about every little lump. $$$$ He said that something (like an insect) had bitten her and it had become an abscess. He shaved 1/2 of that side, removed the lump, left a drainage tube in for a week, put her on antibiotics and such. (There was no difference or change in the outer skin.) Our vet immediately suggested surgery. In the spring, I took her to the vet for a lump on the top of her right ribcage a little behind the front shoulder. I have a 3 1/2 year old English Cream Miniature Long-haired Dachshund, Bella. At what point do I make him a one way appointment…I don’t want to hurry him away, I love him more than any other dog I’ve given a home to and I don’t want him to suffer either. He is not in pain, is playing (although not as much as previously), and enjoys a short walk, he’s eating. Now the lump is huge and discoloured and I need to make a decision. After that I cancelled the op as I would rather he had a shorter life than suffering so much distress. We made an appointment to have it removed but when we tried to get him into the car he became so stressed that he actually passed out on the pavement, it was horrible, I thought he was dead. About a year ago we found a golf ball sized lump in his groin and we managed to get him to the PDSA who said he had a floating testicle which had been missed when he was neutered in Romania. He has to be seen in the car park, is muzzled and desperate to escape. Poor Pip suffers from anxiety aggression and taking him to the vet is hell for him. Hi Andrew, I adopted a Romanian Shepherd dog four years ago, having been a street dog we don’t know his exact age but I felt he was about four years old.

If you’re afraid of bad news, don’t be despite the horror stories, a biopsy or surgery isn’t always needed, and most lumps are benign. So the earlier we see a lump, the more options we have. It helps us decide how big a surgical margin we need.It tells us whether the lump is dangerous or not.That’s where we take a small piece and get it examined. The only way to know for sure is to take a biopsy. Position: watch out for lumps on the head, legs and tail (I’ll explain later).Feel: subcutaneous lumps should move easily between the skin and the body.Appearance: black, pink or ulcerated surfaces are more worrying.
