Drat, drat, drat

One of my big dogs was limping the night before last and by yesterday was obviously hurting though I couldn't see why. So I made an appointment at the vets. My husband pointed out what should have been obvious to me. She had a hole about two inches in diameter that looked infected by the narrowest part of her stomach, right near the flap of skin that attaches the stomach and the leg.
I take her in this morning, and the vet tells me the whole area is necrotic and will have to be surgically removed. That it might be an abrasion that became infected or it might be skin cancer.
I feel like such an idiot not to have seen it. :( She was sitting almost on top of me and my son the other night, and we were petting her.
I just hope it was an abrasion.
