Apollo - lump

[dspch911]

Daddy found a slightly bigger than pea size lump on Apollo's back above his left shoulder the other night. He is a healthy guy so removing it is definitely an option. When we got him he had a very tiny bump on the opposite side that after a couple month I was able to pop and get waxy stuff out of so I assume that was just a cyst. I don't think this one is do to its size, but I'm guessing a needle aspiration first would be a good idea? Near a dull moment with these kiddos of mine.

Apollo had surgery today to remove the lump. It wasn't attached to anything and was easy to take off. I'm at the vet now picking him up.

Does the vet have any idea of what the lump was?

No, not paying to have it sent to the lab, but here it is

I wouldn't pay to send away either. Wow, that looks like a tumour alright. I was hoping it was keratin junk.

He did have a small waxy cyst on his chest when we first got him. I was hoping for that too.
