Hi yorkie talk
My 8 year old yorkie male has a small pea size mass is on his upper lip near his nose. Took him to the vet and they tried to aspirated it but got a little blood which they looked at under the microscope. Vet said he only saw red and white cells...he gave him a shot of antibiotics it last 2 weeks..then he wants to give another shot after the 2 weeks. If nothing happens he will laser this mass off and send fir biopsy.

Anyone experience this or has your yorkie ever get this sort of thing. I afraid. Thank you

Only way to know is to get it biopsied. I had several bumps on Uni biopsied. They all came back as follicular cysts so after three times I don't do it anymore. Each time was $100. Now that I know I keep an eye on any new bumps.
