If Mattie doesn't respond to the next round of antibiotics (2-3 weeks, depending) + corticosteroid cream for her chin acne (she's had the blackheads ever since I got her in the beginning of October, it's been pus-filled infected acne since Thanksgiving), the vet wants to do a biopsy of the skin on her chin from 2-3 different areas. She said that wounds like Mattie's that don't heal even with aggressive treatment could be skin cancer.
Does anyone have any experience with this with their own cats? I was surprised that the vet wanted to do this. I didn't ask how much $$ it will cost, any thoughts on that? (It doesn't matter though).
If it *is* cancer (and at this point, I'm having a hard time believing that it is), what does that mean for Mattie?
