It sounds like the topical treatment you applied to your dog's histiocytoma might be causing some irritation or reaction that has led to oozing. While this can sometimes happen, it is important to monitor for signs of infection.
- Monitor for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or foul odor.
- Consider stopping the topical treatment if the symptoms worsen.
- Consult with a vet if you notice any additional symptoms or if you're concerned.
Topical treatments can sometimes cause irritation, especially if the skin is sensitive or if the product is too strong. Oozing may occur if the histiocytoma becomes irritated or if there is a reaction to the treatment. It's important to keep the area clean and observe for any other troubling signs. If you're worried, it's a good idea to consult with a vet to ensure your dog's health is not at risk.
