Hi!
My 3 y/o male frenchie developed a red bump on his back right leg the size of a pea almost overnight about 4 weeks ago. We went to the vet and they tested the cells of it and say it's a Histiocytoma. Said it should go away on it's own in a couple months (and if it doesn't, that they would need to surgically remove it) and if it changes or gets worse, to take him back in. It got flatter and larger and infected so I took him in and they said he needs to have surgery. The next day it went down even more but still seems red and infected. They did not give us any antibiotics to treat it. I was just putting a topical Neosporin on. Then a couple day later, I took him to a well known nutritionist and he said "he does not need surgery" and that it is infected but he recommended a topical and then a pill that will help it go away in about 3 weeks. It's a more natural approach and he didn't seem worried at all. The things I am using from him are: a CBD and eucalyptis balm and then something called Immune R (that I put in his food) which is a mix or mushrooms. He is super confident this will work. I worry that I am not doing enough. I worry if he doesn't get on a antibiotic from the Vet, that he could get something like Sepsis. Has anyone ran into this with their baby? I don't know if I should go get another Vet opinion before it's too late. I have attached pictures of how it's looked and transforming. Each day it looks a little better but I don't know if something is happening in his body that I need to respond to as well. THANK YOU for any help!!! xoxo
