Last week Danika's bump (which has been around for 3 years now) near her shoulder blades ended up open, bloodied up, and pretty gross. I had cleaned it and it had scabbed over, but on Tuesday it was open and gross once again. So, yesterday we hit the vet where she came home with two different pills to take and a topical. She also has a nice shaved spot on her back
Looks pretty eh? Anyhow, she's not too thrilled about swallowing these big honking pills, and I know she doesn't trick easily with hot dogs, so she isn't happy with me and it's only day one of medication.
Note that we didn't get to see my preferred vet as he's been swamped, but I'm hoping he'll do the follow up visit. We're working to get the swelling down and get it healed up, then we'll assess if it should be removed. They do still feel it's just a sebaceous cyst, nothing threatening, but it could have "eruptions" for lack of better phrasing in the future if we don't carve it out.
