Lump on friend's dog's lip - should they be concerned?
Hi all,
I have a friend that's concerned about a lump on their Dog's lip. He's 3 years, 4 months old, his Mom was a Artic Wolf & Lab mix and Dad was a Shihtzu & Terrier mix. They took him to the Vets the other day (paid $200 for the privilege!) and all they really got told was that it *might* be cancer or histiocytoma. They can surgically remove it and send it away for analysis to determine if it's cancerous etc. which would cost another $800! Having looked in to this a bit, from what I've seen, it is not like any cancer/histiocytoma pictures I have found anywhere else. Here's a picture of what it looks like: The lump has not grown any bigger, is hard, smooth and has not bled. I was wondering if anyone had ever seen anything like this before, or had an idea if it was likely to be cancer/histiocytoma? Any help is very much appreciated (especially as it could potentially save my friend $800!). Thank you very much! |

Are there any other vets your friend can go to to see if they will cost less money?
