Yesterday I had my Gunner's sutures removed from his mast cell tumor and a second lump we had found where he had been shaved that we also had removed. Gunner's second lump was one of those infected hair follicles. I was talking to the vet about it and he said he always likes to get those out. He said they can get big and nasty if you let them go. I agree with Eileen with the better to be safe then sorry approach.
