Picked up two little girls today... both have obvious adrenal symptoms
(balding, brittle hair, thin skin...) and one has a "sore" on her side,
just behind her right front leg. I'm guessing their ages at somewhere
around 4-5 years old.
I've put a couple pics of the sore on my website - URL listed below. It
doesn't look like a "typical" mast cell tumor... my son thinks it looks
possibly like the aftereffect of a brown recluse bite. It's open, "weepy"
and has a sweetish-necrotic odor to it. It doesn't seem to be attached to
bone or any major muscle mass underneath the skin. According to the folks
who rescued these girls from A/C, it started out as a small flat sore (at
the time they were rescued), and grew quickly into the lump it is now. I'm
not sure of the exact time frame.
Any suggestions I can toss at my vet on Monday? This has to be properly
treated ASAP.
