How can I control the bleeding? This happened last year and I cleaned it and bandage it. And it healed up. This one is on the opposite side of her belly as last. I can't afford to get it removed. Vets told me 3k. I've kept it bandaged up off on and on. She licks it alot, I'm always getting on to her for doing it. What can I do for her from home? The first picture is the newest going back over a week.

If this is a tumor it will not be possible to control the bleeding, it will keep on ulcerating and get worse day by day. ulcerated tumors must always been removed surgically, this is the only solution. #K sounds outrageous though for such a procedure which is quite simple, i would recommend contacting a dog charity in your area of living, i'm sure they can point you to a vet clinic that will do it for much less and might even be able to help with the payments.
