I don’t believe so. As I understand it, syncope and fainting can be symptoms but are not the same as seizures.

I Just Wanted To Check If Histiocytoma When First Appearing Can Not Be Red As Shown …
I just wanted to check if Histiocytoma when first appearing can not be red as shown in the picture below ? And if they are known for ulcerating the next day ? Also can a mast cell tumour do both those thing also ? I edited the lighting of the picture so it stand out more. I also added a picture of what it looked like a week later after the scab got knocked off and a picture closer to what it look like now. My dog a staffy aged 8.

Krista Magnifico Nobody can diagnose this via a photo. Lots of lumps and bumps look alike. Please see your vet. They can help.
I Noticed A Raised Lump On My Staffordshire Bull Terrier Aged 8 On The 21st Of November …
I noticed a raised lump on my Staffordshire bull terrier aged 8 on the 21st of November on my dog head that ulcerated the next day. The ulcerated lump scabed over then got knocked off the following week. I have been to 2 different vets within that time and both feel it either a histiocytoma or a mast cell tumour with both vets leaning toward it being a histiocytoma but only a biopsy will make sure. I have a biopsy for Wednesday but my question is would it be worth doing is this lump too close to the eyes for good margins? I have done days of googling and I see 1cm is all that needed for good margins and 90% of other sites saying 2-3cm is needed. I would not put my dog through radio therapy so if good margins is not possible would it be worth doing a biopsy? Another thing is I know it low chance but I don’t want to risk Anesthesia with my dog being that 1 in 2000 dog to die from it. Anyone know if good margins is possible from looking at the picture of my dog?

Sarah Hi there-
Sorry you are going through so much stress with this situation. Unfortunately, it is always so hard to tell anything definite from A picture. I would have frank discussion with my vet and ask about all of my different treatment options from aggressive on down. They know you and your pet best, and can advise accordingly. Best of luck to you both.????????
3 Weeks Since My Dog Was Diagnosed With Ivdd. I’m Not Seeing The Light At The …
3 weeks since my dog was diagnosed with ivdd. I’m not seeing the light at the end of tunnel. He doesn’t seem to be getting better. He still cries and walks around in circles with his head low. He can walk for a few steps but then falls. Feeling so helpless. Any advice?

Laura Hi Jasmine, have you contacted an orthopedic vet? Have you considered laser therapy, water therapy, etc? I understand your distress, and I have only barely followed your story so I’m not sure what you’ve done so far.

Jasmine Post author I have not. I have taken him to 2 regular vets but I don’t feel that they have followed up with him as they should. They did not tell me anything about a follow up appointment . I am going to someone else. I don’t have enough money for an MRI . I am looking into rehabilitation centers. I think I’m going to try a place called BARC. He is currently on galliprant and Gabapentin for pain. They seem to help for 5-6 hours but then he starts crying (usually at night) I can’t tell if it’s from pain though or from wanting to be near me. He stops crying when I pet him or when I pick him up. I have noticed he also cries when he can’t get himself up( like he’s frustrated)

Krista Magnifico Hello,
I would seek the advice of a neurologist. And reassess pain management and quality of life. I think you need help from someone who can examine your pup and talk to you about Your thoughts. Sending ❤️ To you both. -
maria How did the appt go on 12/23. My dog has already had three spinal surgeries and is now dealing with his 4th episode. I would like some good news. I hope he got better. We really thought we had it beat. He did great after surgery. I just wish it was cheaper.
I Recently Notice A Lump On My Dog’s Neck And Went To Go Get It …
I recently notice a lump on my dog’s neck and went to go get it checked out. I found out it can possibly be a lipoma and came across a YouTube video and where the cost for the removal was cheaper compared to the close to $2000 I was shown from my vet. I’m a student trying to manage my own college costs and my part time job is barley helping me out. I was wondering if anyone knows of a great vet in Los Angeles with reasonable price for the removal or something to just help me

Krista Magnifico Ask friends and family and even place a post on social media or to allthe shelters and rescues for vets who might be more affordable. And talk to your vet about the price. Ask if there is any way they can do it safely but at a price you can afford. And please! Please add the estimate to our storylines page. That is the place we hope to be able to find information about vets and vet practices to rocked transparency in pricing to people around the world.

Biscuits Neuter Surgery.
Treatment Cost (USD): $403.00
Biscuit was seen from his first puppy vaccines to his current last treatment plan of his neutering. His parents waited until he reached his adult weight and size (about 14 months) to neuter him. He remained a calm, sweet, well disciplined and gentle boy with no adverse affects of waiting for his neuter. Every pet I consult on is given a tailored individualized plan for all steps and aspects of their life,, neutering is just one. We discuss all pros and cons and then decide together when the ideal time is.

My 24 Pound Beagle, Shadow, Jumped On The Counter And Stole A Chocolate Cupcake Off Of It. …
My 24 pound beagle, Shadow, jumped on the counter and stole a chocolate cupcake off of it. The recipe called for half a cup of cocoa powder and it made around 16 cupcakes (she only stole one).
Is this toxic and should I go to the vet immediately or is it only a certain amount of chocolate that would affect her?

Laura Hi Samantha, in each case it’s whatever the dog will tolerate. I would certainly call your vet, but if you see no changes I wouldn’t worry overmuch. Monitor your dog. If she starts to vomit, shake, pee a LOT more, or have diarrhea? Take her in immediately, do not pass go.

Krista Magnifico Hello.
As the mom of a beagle who would be just as sneaky (but isn’t yet. Thank goodness) I can say this will probably only cause gi upset. That’s not enough chocolate to cause toxicity. As long as your pup is otherwise healthy. You should always talk to your vet and always if worried call the pet poison helpline. There are also choc tox formulas that help available online.
Hello,
Hematomas are not an emergency. So I think it’s fine to wait a day until your vet can see your pup. Please ask For more help in avoiding it the next time. Some dogs have terrible allergies that can be managed better so hematomas don’t happen
