Me too--- I have my fingers crossed you have an infection. I would say based on your history, it's a good chance it is. They cooked that area nicely so necrotic tissue is very possible, and healing etc.. is compromised, and frankly you had a similar occurrence recently where you had a non healing necrotic ulcer. Thankfully the first dr. showed you why and what he suspected. Hopefully the FNA gives you some good news - infections suck but the C word sucks more. If it was my vet you know - the results would have been back in an hour!! Full biopsy 24-48... bizarre but true! hugs dude.
