Skin cancer in dogs Murphy

[Linda and Murphy]

Being a sun worshiper with reddish hair and blue eyes, I am very familiar with skin cancer. I have had umpteen removed, some even by MOH's surgery. I am pretty good at identifying it in humans.

 

I noticed a bump on Murphy's nose last week. It was black and flat, not deep. I thought it might just be a dirty face. Being like Joanne, I picked at it. It bled profusely but stopped. Yesterday, I checked it again. It felt a bit larger, and deeper. My vet is open on Saturday and, for my peace of mind, I decided to run by there. Everyone's question "What did Murph Man do now?"

Unfortunately, she didn't blow me off as a worry wart. We are going to give it a week and check it again. She didn't like that it was black (melanoma).

 

Thanks. I just need to share.

Oh Linda, so sorry you have to worry, I am sending positive vibes and many many good wishes the this thing is just gone next week and all is well.

OMD, I hope not. I hope it resolves itself by next week.
