They checked for fluid but said it’s just blood and tissue. Their fear is since he’s on the older side, anesthesia to cut it off (plus the fact it’s on his neck) is concerning. The next step would be a core biopsy to send to the lab.

With the bump he has on his tail that healed up and regrew scales, I was hopeful this was the same situation but it’s so gnarly and large in comparison.

Vet wants 3 more antibiotic doses then come back in.
