Dezzy 1 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Going to take him to vets first thing monday. It doesnt seem to be affecting him eating or anything Quote Link to post
brazer 287 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 They look like a mass of cysts but to be sure its nothing more serious a vet is your best option. Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 It does not look good to me.. a trip to the vet's ASAP if it was my pooch..finger's crossed for you that it is a harmless growth.. Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 It looks a lot like the cysts formed from tapeworm eggs though I'd say it's most likely epulis, as in Paulus's article. Quote Link to post
littlefish 585 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 If that was my dog I would opt for excision biopsy. Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Dezzy, can you let us know what the vet says and what the outcome is for future reference please. 1 Quote Link to post
