Mass on elbow

Slight tangent, though not enough to warrant a new thread: Peter Van Dongen (canine rehab specialist) wrote a piece about that style of harness interfering with normal shoulder mobility. I've had a couple of cases of shoulder lameness that resolved when the harness type was changed. Of course no control case so who knows, they may well have got better anyway.

Interesting stuff (and a post with a solution)

I saw it yesterday and had it in to FNA today and we concluded it was indeed a hygroma.

It was on admission this morning that the client said 'is this significant?

What makes this interesting is the fashion for dog harnesses (which wasn't with the dog yesterday), so we may see more of these. The buckle was in line with the elbow

If aspirating, do so in sterile fashion.

If clinically fits a hygroma, then I suggest simply do nothing.

Hygroma from the looks of it, don't touch it with a barge-pole, surgically!

Hygroma probably. What does it lie/sleep/rest on?
