Nah, she aspirated, which made me nervous because it’s grown anyway since I first discovered it. Anyhow as I was saying, she aspirated that plus a smaller she found a few inches back on the ribs, and I waited while she put it under the scope right then.
The new small one is likely a cyst due to the skin, fat cells, dead cells & other detritus - I’m not too worried about that.
The big one is roughly the size & shape of a pingpong ball, and feels like cupping a single gonad. While she found no mast cells, the most malignant, she didn’t like the looks of it. She nodded in agreement when I said I want it OUT of her.
Got a kick outta your “sack of doorknobs” image, tho. I had a collie who grew a single large lipoma at what was normally the narrowest part of the waist, on her right side. Larges as a grapefruit & squishy.
Good luck with her.
I’m pretty confident she’ll be just fine.
Lumps on dogs are rarely anything while lumps on cats usually are something.
Izzy had another lipoma that grew on the flap of skin in front of her hind leg.
It grew like crazy, having absolutely nothing to constrain it.
She looked weird but was healthy until Rimadyl given her for a back injury took her out...:(
