Title: Lump or Mass
Post by: gut_buster on January 18, 2011, 12:45:49 pm
Got a dog cut up the other night right behind his front shoulder. I been flushing it and cleaning it daily. Yesterday I noticed a squishy lump behind the cut. I lanced it and nothing came out any suggestions I would rather not have a bill at the vet..

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it. Most likely it will go away with time.

I cut a little slice from the bottom side and drained all the fluid from it. Should be all good.

The body will absorb any fluid like that.  its better to leave it alone if its squishy in order to keep infection out. Also if it happened to be a ruptured artery the dog could bleed to death by cutting it open.
