My beautiful 4 year old collie had a round red hairless mark on her chest. Initially thought she had scratched herself or something had irritated the sin.
2 days ago it became lumpy.
Took her to the vet yesterday who inserted a needle . no infection came out
Looked at us and said it could be mast cell but at this moment dont know. She was very good explained the types. Has sent us away wirh cream just in case its an infection with instructions to see if the lump changes after exercise. She also askex if we had insurance....
Anyway came home spent 6 hours on Dr Google. Went to pieces. Imagined all the worst. Shes only 4.
Eventualky decided. Right one day at a time. Its not confirmed. Deal with it when it does.
Wouldnt mind a hand hold. DH been brilliant but hes devastated too.
So point of post is
- Anyone else been through this?any hints or tips?
- How long should I give the cream to work. Vet said a couple of weeks but I dont want to leave it too late but equally want to respect her advice.
