that's surely not a good sign that it's growing again, and with these guys, most growths do seem to turn out to be cancer, but I'm still hoping it's some odd skin disorder.
Since it's right there out in the open, I would think the vet would opt to remove it and perhaps biopsy it, unless he can tell by looking what it most likely is (I think there are some visible characteristics to even different cancers that help them to guess with some confidence what it is they are looking at, others probably only can be identified microscopically)
This is all based on my experience with human cancers, some can be identified by appearance and growth patterns, etc
Hopefully it's a single benign growth that can just be cut out. Even if it's malignant, it seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to remove, being right on the skin, assuming there's not much more of it inside.
If it were my girl and she was in good health otherwise, I'd first see what the vet has to say,
and then, if it seems she's got a good chance of this thing not coming back, I'd probably treat it, which I would *guess* would mean removing it, but who knows, maybe there's some sort of chemo for it?
it's so hard not knowing. I am hoping your vet has enough experience to have seen something like this before, and to know what it is or probably is, and what the best course of treatment would be.
so sorry you guys are going thru this! snuggle that girl, and take it one day at a time.
I know it's going to be a long day til you can get her in there, hopefully you can distract yourself with loving on her and her buddy
:hugs:
