Gadget got a lump on his back a few months after I got him (over a year ago). I took him to the vet, he aspirated it and didn't see any cancerous cells. He said we could remove it or just watch it. I chose to watch it. It's gotten a little larger in the past few months. No itching, pain, or discomfort. He's fed raw chicken and beef, balanced using Dr. Pierson's recipe. He has a history of IBS but raw resolved it. They get water packed sardines a few times a week for a snack. They do not get flea treatments, wormings...just their food, water, and sometimes Temptations hairball treats when the hairballs get out of control. They are indoor only.
That vet moved so I now use a new guy in that practice. Really like the guy and he is supportive of raw feeding. When I took my crew in January he saw the lump but didn't comment on it. In the past few months it has grown and I'm doing all the what-ifs. He's 2 years old and otherwise very healthy.
I'm going to schedule an appointment soon, when finals are over. Would you push for surgery? I'm just terrified of it turning into something bad later. Thoughts?
