Lump on face....what do you think?

When my vet first just poked Bijoux's lump with a needle he thought it was a seroma as well because it just came up with serum, no red blood cells. That's when he decided to lance it after finding white blood cells after looking at a sample with a microscope. When he lanced it, it was an actual tumor-like lump. So it might be a good idea for your vet to actually lance the lump and open it up if it looks like it's coming back.

Oh no. Ok, I will keep a close eye on things.

Seroma is a funny one, since it usually happens after a surgery. The pocket created by the removal of the tumour allows the body's fluids to pool under the skin. Since there was no surgery, there shouldn't be a pocket. I would definitely advise watchng it carefully.

My vet said that a seroma could happen if an injury occured as well but with Bijoux there was no injury so yeah, keep an eye on it for sure!
