Lump changing colour?

Kazz · 24-10-2005, 07:41 PM

Cleo has had a lump on her shoulder for about a year its no problem you can touch it press it like a "cyst" but its always been a bluey black colour and the lump is about the size of a large strawberry small plum (noticable) the vet said no trouble a year ago leave it alone - due to her age "biopsy" was not preferable as she was poorly "not recover quickly" when she was put under to have her teeth cleaned at 14/15 about 8 years ago.

But in the last week its changed colour

and is now milky white you can still touch it ect but I am taking her the vet tomorrow along with Oscar so wish me luck.

Maybe the 'cyst' or whatever content has calcified Kazz? Shouldn't cause any problem - just shows it was inert to begin with.
Just call Dr DM ......................

....(im)plausible theories for every ill!

Kazz - Does it feel "squiggy?" maybe it needs draining / lancing.
Couldn't the vet do a FNA? just to be on the safe side? - No need for GA

Sorry ~Edit to add - FNA -- biopsy taken with small needle (Fine needle aspirate)

Nah its not squidgy and I'm resigned to the fact she has a lump -

we'll see what the vets say.

Thanks all Karen

Good luck at the vets! I hope all is well!

I think the only chance I have of bad news is that the vet keeps her - they keep threatening it - they adore her.

Kazz - She'll be fine, lumps do change in time. The only bad news your having tomorrow is the bill.
