[Dailydrool] Update on our foster Sydney

[Carmen Kraus]

Sydney was our rescue from Plano, TX, owner surrender at a local 
shelter.  Will be 11 in January.  Has been outside for the last few 
years.  Been here a month now.

She has been scheduled for surgery on December 15th.
Vet is removing a total of 6 worrisome lumps/bumps/horns/ducts/etc. The 
one on her head has grown horns now and will be sent for biopsy (he 
really doesn't like this one in particular), the one on her chest stays 
raw and fleshy and bleeds still so it's going. The now 2 on her back 
look like what they are supposed to but since he's taking off the others 
as a precaution he'll do the same to these. The 'pustule' or impacted 
duct looking thing on her rear is being opened and likely removed. The 
pustule on her ear that will not heal right is also being removed. She 
had a new pustule on her back that had to have come up overnight, he 
lanced it and we'll watch it.
This problem is the same as what Sally had, though this has been going 
on far longer and hasn't been dealt with properly, hence the adenomas 
erupting everywhere according to the vet. All it takes is bathing with a 
shampoo that degreases the skin enough for the pores to drain. Since 
there is no yeast build up we are starting her on T-gel immediately, 
same thing we did to Sally and Schroeder. The selsun blue isn't quite 
strong enough for her amount of oil.
