Joy has a bump in the skin on her back.
The vet doesn't think it's anything dangerous, he will remove it one of the next days to get rid of it and send sample to a lab to find out more. To me this bump looks different than the bumps she had from canine cutaneous histiocytosis. It is hard as a stone inside, the vet couldn't go through it with a needle. Wondered for a moment if it could be the microships? The chip has another shape, he told me. My vet also think that it could be a "tallowbump"(?), even though it is hard. We'll see.  Joy is not afflikted, no pain nor itching. She didn't show any signal of pain from the needle either. She loves the vet, and seems healthy and just fine.  |

| Good luck to Joy with the removal of her bump, and also that pathology comes back with a good report. You mentioned it possibly being from her chip - is it in that spot on her back, near the withers? |
| I feel your pain. I hate lumps! |
 it is all fine! |

You mentioned it possibly being from her chip - is it in that spot on her back, near the withers? Yes, right over her shoulder, so it is a little longer back than they usely put the ship. The chip somtimes move a little - and it beeped there too, so it did other places on her withers and neck. He also said that the chip shoulden't make any trouble, so I believe this is some kind of ordenary tallow lump or something......... |
| Hope everything turns out OK. |
| Hope very thing turns out okay for both Joy and you. |
| Thanks. We removed the bump and a little more two days ago:   Waiting for the pathology report from a Laboratory England.Joy has some very boring days, she cannot play With other dogs for some days: Every time I speak in the phone she is jumping and barking and thinks that I am making a playdate for her, then she runs happy to the door - poor girl.  |
awee... poor girl. Hope you hear the results are good soon and everything heals so she can get that playdate she misses  |
| I hope that everything comes back fine. Too many lumps and bumps out there lately for so many sheepies! |
| Poor Joy! I think "tallow" bump must mean a "fat" bump, like a lipoma or perhaps a sebaceous cyst. From the description it sounds to me like a sebaceous cyst, but I would think that the vet would recognize a sebaceous cyst, so I don't understand. Either way, a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma would be a good diagnosis! I have my fingers crossed for poor Joy |

I have my fingers crossed for poor Joy A sebaceous cyst, thank you, that was the word (shame on my Dictionary, "tallow bump"  )My vet doesn't think it's something dangerous, I could wait and see, he just couldn't say what it was.  It is hard as a stone inside, strange or is it a "calcium lump" or "lime lump"don't know what you call these lumps? , and also since she had canine cutaneous histocytosis a year ago, it's appropriate to get to know for sure. |
| Yes, Mulligan had a sebaceous cyst on his leg that had a very hard center. He was put on Keflex antibiotic after the cyst was removed. (If I recall correctly) (Nope it was Clavamox. See: Mole, Cyst, Zit: What is it?) |

See: Mole, Cyst, Zit: What is it?) What is Clavamox? Clavamox is a broad spectrum antibiotic, a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic Acid, used for infections caused by bacteria. Clavamox requires a prescription from your veterinarian, and is sold by the tablet. It is also available as oral drops. Then I hope Joy has the same thing like Mulligan! We did not get any antibiotic; it's a New trend - don't give antibiotc before absolutely necessary. It might be ok on this small surgery. |
 Joy is just fine - nothing dangerous!Report from the lab: These results confirm an area of stromal ossification as the cause of this hard dermal mass. The presence of some keratin fragments within this mass such a ruptured pilomatricoma as the underlying cause for the lesion in this case. Excision should be curative. |
