My dog was recently diagnosed (via biopsy) with panniculitis, I believe it was post-injection panniculitis because he recently received a vaccines in that area. Since the biopsy, I noticed that the lumps that I originally felt have decreased in size/disappeared, but I have been feeling some other different lumps around the general area. It has been almost 5 weeks since the vaccines were given. Should I have the vet re-biopsy the area or is this likely inflammation-related? Thanks!

Hello and thank you for contacting PetCoach. You should take Toby back to your vet for an appointment. If the lumps feel exactly the same as the original lump, a course of anti-inflammatory medications will be likely prescribed. However, if the lumps feel different and your vet is concerned that it may be something else going on, another biopsy will be recommended.
