Histopathology

A new word we learned yesterday, among several others. The biopsy came in on Jorgen (pony), and thankfully, it wasn't cancer. I will give you the executive summary. It was basically found that he had a bacterial infection embedded within a dense bed of granulation tissue. No foreign bodies were found, nor infestation of any kind. The vet had not seen this before and has no idea as to the cause. The fact that it was bacterial in nature explains why the swelling was reduced when we used Neosporin, but the cream wasn't enough to completely cure the infection. I am hoping that this takes care of it, and that by disturbing the infection, it doesn't spread.
