Hi!
I have a 9 year old Pitbull mix with history of mast cell. I noticed a lump on his chin in April and brought him to the vet for aspiration. It came back mast cell. The vet put him on a dose of prednisone and I continued giving him his daily Benadryl. His surgery for removal was scheduled for 3/19. We did a mass removal and dental at once. When he was finished the vet called and said the prednisone made the mass disappear completely so she did not operate on the site at all. A month later, now that his pred course is finished, the mass has returned on his chin and is clearly a mast cell. I don’t know what to do next because I spent the money I had on his surgical visit on 3/19 with the expectation that his mass would also be removed. Do you have any recommendations on what I should do? Thank you in advance!!
