Since your questions are about the same content and situation, I'll give you a single answer.

I'm sorry to hear about Kanoa's condition. From the information and the photo you provided, it appears that the growths are quite concerning, especially since they are bleeding and increasing in size. These symptoms could be due to a variety of causes, ranging from benign tumors like lipomas to more serious conditions such as malignant tumors or infections.

First, gently clean the area around the lump with a mild antiseptic solution like diluted betadine or chlorhexidine. This can help prevent secondary infections, especially if the lump has any open or bleeding areas.

In the meantime, you can gently clean the affected area with a sterile cloth or gauze to remove any blood or discharge. It's important to keep the area clean and dry, and to prevent Kanoa from licking or scratching the growths, as this could make the situation worse. An Elizabethan collar (cone) can be very helpful in preventing her from disturbing the area.

Given the severity of the symptoms and the fact that the growths are bleeding, it is crucial to have Kanoa evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. The veterinarian will likely perform a thorough examination and may recommend a biopsy or aspiration of the growths to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
