Macula has a 'something'
....on her lip.
I noticed it today as she begged food from one of my nieces. It's right on the corner of the mouth, it's black, round, about the size of a dried pea, and rough in texture. I tried to take a picture to show you all, but small black on black fur...wel, my camera's not that good. I'm calling the vet tomorrow, but I'm scared--could this be something serious? -- Marie Meet Macula at http://members.rogers.com/mmcw/ |

Subject: Macula has a 'something'
From: "Marie" Date: 7/13/03 8:18 PM Pacific Sounds like a wart, Marie. I know it's no good telling you not to worry. Kevin had a black ugly deal on his shoulder that was biopsied, looked very suspicious, and turned out to be a benign melanocytoma. Best bet is to try to think those positive thoughts and wait for more information. Let us know, ok? Deb Shi the Survivor Georgie the Kid-Snarker |

It sounds a lot like a wart. They tend to go away by themselves.

@news02.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com: I'm calling the vet tomorrow, but I'm scared--could this be something serious? This was sent to me to pass on by someone who lurks here but is uncomfortable posting. possible causes of warts: Moniezia Scolex: - large tapeworm of head, -symptoms: reluctant bowel movement, promotes wart formation, Pappiloma virus: http://members.shaw.ca/virology/papillomavirus.htm squamous cell carcinoma: The mouth is the fourth most common site of cancer in domestic animals. It may be that mouth cancers arise at such high frequencies in dogs and cats because carcinogens from the air land on their coats and get into their oral tissues when they groom them-selves. Breeds with dark pigment in the mouth, are prone to melanoma in the mouth.Swelling around a tooth when there is no tooth injury or dental disease could be a sign of mouth cancer. -- ******************************************* Marcel Beaudoin & Moogli ******************************************* 'He's dead Jim.
