Hoshi’s ear sore

I mentioned in my last blog I found a reddened bump on the inside of Hoshi’s ear. I took Hoshi to the vet today and she thinks it’s a histiocytoma. She checked the cells under a microscope with a slide smear and needle aspiration and said she found round cells which suggests a histiocytoma. It doesn’t seem to bother Hoshi unless I’m trying to clean it. I put peroxide on it this morning and he acted like it hurt. She said they can resolve on their own. If not, they would remove it. Hoshi went home with a 14 day supply of Keflex 250mg 3x daily.

Hoshi is loved at the vet. 🙂 They think he’s cute. I sent them a Christmas card. One tech really spent a lot of time with him. He likes to roll over for belly rubs. She grew up with cockers. She asked where I got him from. I said Gina. She liked his haircut too. She said it was a real cocker cut. I told her Gina trimmed him as well.
