Vet. carged me $400 for 2 lump removals and one is still there

i got charged 400 for a vet. to remove two lumps on my pit.he said they were cancer but ended up being benign growths or fatty tuomors one is sill there.

 

My Sas had lumps starting on her about 3 years ago. One grew out of her ear, and became so large so fast it was oozing. I took her to the vet, and he put a rubber band around it!!! In one day, the lump shrank like a deflated balloon, in 5 days it fell off and was gone. I was told these lumps were cancerous and to be greatful they were growing OUTSIDE of her and not inside. When asked about the rubberbands, he said it was an old remedy still used today on dogs too old to go "under" for surgeries. She has gotten many since then, on her belly, legs, other ears, nipples, and we use a braces rubber band and they fall off. I dont know if yours were similar or on the inside, I suppose they would be more difficult to remove. But thats too bad, I hope your dog doesnt get anymore!

 

I just had my vet remove a cist (think thats how its spelled) removed for $50. But it was only that cheap cuz he was neutured at the same time so there was no need for bloodwork or anesthesia. After the removal, there is still a lump but the vet said the tissues are inflamed

 

I swear i can feel a lump .i'll give it time and let you all know

 

Sometimes if the vet doesn't feel like all things should be removed, he won't take it. I think it's wrong if you are paying, but what can one do. I had my vet take off a small tumor on my dogs elbow, and glad he did. He said, sometimes they really don't need to be removed. But, I wasn't going to take that chance. Hope all turns out for the better, with your dog.

 

Thats what they told me. That it didnt need to be removed, but i chose to have it removed anyway as a safety measure.

 

ok thanks you all.i was concernd because there is stitching where this lump is.the weird thing is the lump is more off to the side of the stitching.they removed em cause they thought they were cancer but turned out to be fatty cycsts on her breasts

 

Good to hear, that it wasn't something more bad. Hope all is better soon.
