Deuce final results came back today. The pathologist ran every test he could think of and the end result is.........
We still don't know what the lump on his nose is. It's not normal tissue, it's not scar tissue, it's not cancerous(phew)! It's not an infection. There doesn't appear to be any foreign object in his nose.
My vet's advice was not to worry about it. If it starts to bug Deuce, then I guess we'll move on to something else. Although even my vet doesn't know what that will be.
Deuce is unbothered by whatever it is. Occasionally one nostril swells up a bit and that makes him snort a bit. So I'm to give him Benadryl when that happens.
As long as Deuce remains a happy, active doofus and the lump doesn't grow or start to bother him, we're just leaving well enough alone!
