Damon biopsy results

Well Damon's biopsy results are in: He has a eosinophilic furunculosis of the face with hypersensitivity reaction possibly caused by an arthropod bite or sting: meaning he was bit or stung by a bug, and his immune system over reacted. after using a round of antibiotics after the surgery it is recommended that he has a large or double steroid dose to suppress his immune response.

Damon has another cyst

Damon has another cyst, this time on his snout. After a round of steroids and antibiotics it has shrunk a bit, but still bleeding and is scheduled for another surgery to remove.
It has only been 11 months since the last cyst was removed from his pad.

Update: Surgery went ok for biopsy and culturing to see what it might be causing him pain, swelling and bleeding on his nose. He is still groggy but doing ok. Will update in 4 days when the results are back.
