I need help, and I am not sure exactly where to go. Please delete if this is not allowed. We rescued a pup a few months ago, and in the last couple of weeks she has developed a growing in size mass on her side. It bothers her, is raw, and a raised bump. Obviously, I want this to be removed, but our regular vet is going to charge us $700 for sedation, removal, and sending it to pathology. I am looking for a lower cost option. I need to have her spayed as well, but this potentially malicious mass needs to be gone first. Does anyone have ANY recommendations? I made an appointment with the local vet school, but they can't SEE her until mid December and removal can't be until February of next year.... I don't want to let this go that long.
