Nanook has had his share, he actually has one right now.
He has his removed every few years then it grows back. The first time I had a biopsy done on it, it was benign, but over the years it has most likely turned cancerous. The vets & even I can guess just by the looks of it. I haven't had it removed because he has a few other cancerous tumors, one, the biggest one, is un-operatable due to its location, his age & condition. With his health problems it's not worth removing the few small ones when he still has the large one & major arthritis.

I do know of a few other dogs that have had them & they never returned or they never turned cancerous.


It is a simple procedure & they heal up in no time. He was back to his old self the same day each time. I had to put drops &/or ointment in his eye for a week or so afterwards but thats it.

And yes they can get skintags just like us.

I'm sure he'll do just fine.

Is he getting it removed or looked at tomorrow?
I wish yous the best of luck!
