Common Questions and Answers about Lump at spay site

lump

Avatar n tn How big is the lump where here spay incision is? It's not uncommon for there to be a bump where the incision is, depending on how skilled a stitcher the vet is who performed the surgery, sometimes the incision can be QUITE bumpy as it heals, and even afterward for a while. It could be coincidental, or it could mean that she ate something that you didn't know she ate and that's what's giving her the diarrhea, or it could be something more serious.
Avatar f tn I just saw VanillaBean's question from a few days ago- her description of her dog's ear lump sounded like Fiona's, but when I looked at the pictures of her dogs ear, Fifi's doesnt look like that at all. When I picked off part of the scab to try to see if I could "pop" the lump, it bled a little, but not much. But I only picked off not even a quarter of the penny sized lump.
1748949 tn?1318287437 i did my wk 14 shot last night and as i was injecting the fon rang and it startled me and i guess i pulled the needle out just a bit and it was going UNDER my skin and so i stopped and reinjected the remander or the shot but I had a lump at thefirst injection site and i was wondering if even after rubbing the site if the medicatin will do what its suppose to since i messed up a bit. VERY concerned. I want this treatment to work and hope it will be ok.
Avatar n tn This is the 13th day following stereotatic biopsy for microcalcification cluster. While the results were benign, I continue to bleed from the biopsy site and there seems to be a hematoma at the site as well. There is no infection but I'm wondering if a dissapating hematoma might be the cause for continued bleeding. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/261316'>Lump after stereotactic biopsy</a>.
Avatar f tn My dos was spayed 9 days ago. She wasn't in heat at the time of the surgery, but it looks like se is because she's bleeding. Is this normal?
Avatar n tn The cath was negative but there is a hematoma at my right groin site that they think may be pressing against the nerve. I have pain in my leg and it is also in the bottom of my foot and ankle. Being a nurse I am freaking out that it might be a blood clot. I had an ultrasound done one week ago which showed the hematoma and my pulses are good both pedal and post tibial. I spoke with the doctor and he said to give it a week.
Avatar f tn Hey guys, looking for some advice..several wks ago my boyfriend found a small, airsoft BB sized lump on our shihtzu, under one of her nipples. She's 8-9yrs old, never been spayed (im a big spay/neuter advocate but he had her for about 3 yrs before we even got together,and i never managed to twist his arm into letting me get it done) i had other sick dogs so it was another week or two before i got her to the vet & it had grown to be pea-sized.
Avatar f tn The spay, biopsy, and pathology was only 500! I was shocked at how quick she was willing to open her up without being able to really come up with a good reason why. Also my vet said the fluid was serous fluid from a seroma but there is no swelling and when I asked the second vet about it she didn't know what it was and changed the subject. So I of course left and did not have the surgery, but I am still scared. Is the oozing and vag. bleeding ok?
Avatar m tn Have had a number if animals spay over the years and have never seen a lump like that. Almost looks herniated.
Avatar f tn as long as she isn't over licking at the stitches the cone really doesn't need to be on more than 2-3 days, within 7 days the site should be pretty well healed ..no redness and certainly no drainage, so most most definitely no need for the cone. I would never leave a cat unattended for long periods with one on.
Avatar f tn and one day I was rubbing her belly and I felt a lump about as big as a half a dollar beside on of her nipples. dose my Brandy have cancer please help.
Avatar n tn Or is it oozing at all, or very red and inflamed? How bad is the swelling? Usually if there was infection at the incision site, there would be inflammation as well. And if there were some infection internally, there would be a marked change in her, as she would probably have pain and fever. It's hard for me to know and give the right advice from a distance, as I can't see the scar.
Avatar f tn Hi, just read your message on the lump on your neck, I just had 4,5, and 6 anterior fusion and I have the same lump at the neck incision area, my surgery was 11/18/14 and was never given a neck brace even after i mentioned it, so two days after going home I called and got a perscription steriod pack and told to use ice packs at the site. did the ice and working on the precription, so far swelling is smaller but still feels knotted up, Have you had any luck with this?
Avatar n tn t not believe the lump is cancer. She bumped her leg while jogging recently and got a lump at the site of the impact too. That lump went away in time. She is confused by the thinking of the diff. doctors who have tried to help and advise. She feels that she may loose her breast due to continued non-conlcusive tests that have yet to confirm cancer.
Avatar f tn I have had them checked every week since i found them at 36 hours old (they are nearly 4 weeks) and apart from a bout of fleas at the start they have had a clean bill of health... Will the hernia cause her any trouble? ALSO I have heard that adding pumpkin to their feed could help their constipation. are my babies too young for this or can i try to give them some- and in that case- how much do i give them?
Avatar n tn m a Nurse and today a lump appeared right after the injection site with screaming pain. This has never happened. He just gets a little stinging and that's it. What did I do wrong? I pinched the skin, swabbed just down, massaged for two mins. and the lump, it has gone down, why?

Avatar m tn You need to see the vet ASAP! Need prescription meds and, if not spay, should be done. Really nothing you can do on your own for this.
4455840 tn?1354842183 Did massaged post injection as instructed by the nurse. But realised this lump thing over the site beneath the skin, not on the surface to be exact. Does this mean the medicine is still at the injection site region and not absorbed by the body?
382218 tn?1341181487 I had also heard that thigh area was bad for reactions and wanted to try to prevent this. Well, I soon afterwards, I got a huge hard lump at the site which as dimished a lot, but I can still feel it two days later. Does anyone know what the lump is, ie: is it fluid collecting under the skin? For my fourth shot, on my left outer thigh, I prepped by warming the injection site for 10 mins before the shot, and chilling it for 15 mins afterwards.
Avatar m tn The Shelters and a lot of rescues do spay/neuter at a very young age, often as young as 8 weeks. It used to be recommended you wait until between 6-9 months of age. Some recommend before the first heat cycle and some recommend after the first heat. I think some studies were done showing there was a lower risk of mammary Cancer in females spay before their first cycle. Due to bone growth, etc. In large breeds it is recommended you wait until after 1 year to close to 2 years of age.
