I actually saw a very similar case at the office today. Those growths could be benign or malignant, but I would highly encourage you to have a follow up appointment with your veterinarian soon. I would recommend discussing surgical removal with biopsy to find out what they are. Hopefully surgery will be curative. Best of luck and I hope she heals quickly. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
