Thanks, Karen!
That's something I would never have thought of since I've never seen a *big* mast cell tumor. This thing looked like a giant mosquito bite or small bee sting. I just did some reading, and apparently mast cell tumors can be much larger than I've seen in the past. Today, all that's left of the spot is a tiny red scab, and my vet appt. is next week. (Nothing left for the vet to see!!!)
Again, many thanks for your feedback. I feel a sense of relief that perhaps all is not completely hopeless - yet!

[Moderator's Note: If it reappears in the same spot then
a mast cell tumor is more likely and it was just missed earlier
since they last longer than a day. If it really was just a day
then think about things like mosquito bites and remember to
treat to prevent heart worms. The more serious things
asked about in the original post don't disappear. Mast cell
tumors can be large. To learn about them:

with that website higly recommended for learning about a
great many things.]
