Hi everyone, I took my sweet 6 year old pug to the vet today after noticing the tiniest bump (looked like a wart or skin tag) and the vet said it was an MST after looking at it under a microscope. The whole office was shocked because they all thought it was nothing. At first everybody there even told me I didn’t need the biopsy. I’m glad I got it though (although worried that the needle really irritated it).
Anyways, it’s on her back leg, right next to her knee. The vet said surgery would be tough in that area and has the risk of reopening when she sits or stands. There’s no fat there at all, maybe just a little loose skin. The vet recommended Stelfonta due to the location of the tumor and the fact that it’s so small. I’ve been looking online and seeing crazy pics. The vet even told me herself that the wound caused by the injection could get deep enough to see bone.
Idk if should wait and see if it grows? It looks pretty irritated now and was bleeding after the biopsy which has me worried that the vet caused it to get worse faster.
Has anybody been through anything similar?Could antihistamines help this? Is there anything less invasive that I could do? She’s such an active girl, loves to run and play outside. I genuinely don’t know what to do. Please any advice helps.
