Common Questions and Answers about Dog lump under skin

Avatar n tn Look more at how the lump moves under the skin. Generally, if you can kind of roll it around loosely under the skin a little bit, it's a benign tumor. If it's in an unmoveable fixed position, it's attached to structures below the skin, and could be cancer - but not necessarily. Time to stop speculating and just have your vet take a look at it.
Avatar n tn my dog has a small lump behind his left front leg. it causes no pain what could it be?
Avatar m tn I'm a 16 year old male, and i've had a lump under my armpit for about a month now, and i was wondering if anyone could give me any insight as to what it is. It isn't very big, it doesn't hurt, although it can get a bit tender if i mess with it, it's pretty hard, and seems to be under the skin. I read somewhere that using an antiperspirant can cause bumps like this, and i use Mitchum Unscented roll on. Does anyone know if this has any type of connection?
Avatar n tn My dog has a soft lump under his jaw and this morning his face was swollen on the same side as the lump. His whole face wasn't swollen, just the jowel on the same side as the lump. I have an appointment to take him to the vet but was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what this might be.
Avatar m tn Though, I have decided to make another one, since I have more information. I have a lump under my penis skin that is somehow hard. I had it for about 3 months. I woke up one morning having it. I am a virgin, so it is not related to sexual activities. The problem was associated with a curvature of the penis when it is semi-flaccid. I had a curvature to my penis even before the beginning of this problem but I did not have a semi-flaccid curvature.
Avatar f tn Is the lump oozing/open or is it just a lump you can feel under the skin? If it is open, it may be an abcess which needs to be drained. If it is a lump under the skin perhaps it is something that is having a hard time being passed from her rectum? An abcess is fairly easy to treat, drain and it usually goes away in a few days. Peroxide or topical antibiotic if necessary. The lump may present several different secenarios, something she can't pass or may pass in a few days.
Avatar f tn Dogs do tend to develop lumps of one kind or another, particularly as they mature, and most are cysts or fat deposits under the skin and nothing to be concerned about. The only real way of being certain about a suspicious lump is to have it analysed. A vet will insert a needle into the lump, remove some tissue cells and have them analysed under a microscope. Just ask your vet to perform this test if you are at all worried or concerned.
Avatar f tn Hershey is a 10 year old Australian Shepard hasn't had much health problems other than three ear surgeries on his ears for burst blood vessels. Today I found a lump next to his penis it's not the other set of "balls" as I call them. It's roundish and moves but doesn't feel like its free moving. Seems to be connected under the skin it doesn't seem to bother him to the touch.
Avatar m tn t move around under the skin, it seems stationary. He has an appointment for his last set of shots in two weeks. If there is no change, would it be okay to wait until then? Would this also possibly be the bulbous gland?
Avatar n tn When you feel the lump, does it move freely under the skin, or does it seem to be attached to deeper tissues? The reason I ask is that dogs can get all kinds of benign growths at various points in their lives, and those usually can be moved around pretty freely under the skin. As long as the dog isn't biting and clawing at it to the point that the skin is broken, there shouldn't be a problem.
1202152 tn?1265471495 Do you think the lump is hard or does it fill like its filled with fluid? Could be a hematoma , but it would be the best idea to take your puppy do the veterinarian. Better safe than sorry.
Avatar f tn Quite often they are pasty in texture but sometimes they are hard. They show up as a white lump under her skin. They do not bother her, except when I squeeze them. We feed her a mixture of home made dog food and Purina Dog Chow. Are these common on this type of dog? I am trying to find out information as to what they might be and what we can do to prevent them.
Avatar m tn s a really helpful article that may help you narrow this down. From your description, this lump seems under the skin but erupting to a bump (bug bite in appearance). https://www.healthline.com/health/hard-lump-under-skin#dermatofibroma To me, this sounds possibly like a lipoma. These are not cancer. If you feel this is skin cancer, again, please see a dermatologist at once. https://www.medicinenet.com/skin_cancer_overview/article.
Avatar n tn To your concern, have you thought about getting your dog x-rayed? It sounds to me like she is building fluid under her skin or she could be bleeding inside..just something to look at. I think it is good to go to other vets to get fresh ideas. You can pick up copies of your paperwork that you paid for. Don't feel bad doing this if you decide to do so. Your vet might be very good, but I had one that I tried to trust and she almost killed my dog, and then demanded money for treating her.
Avatar f tn My dog was bit on the shoulder and under on the meaty upper part of his leg which left a small puncture wound, I treated it 3 times a day for over a week, applying hot compresses to the lump that developed near the wound in the arm pit area, I noticed it would bleed a lot after treating it, I also applied hydrogen peroxide and an triple antibiotic to the wounds, he seems to be doing a lot better now, barely limps and is eating and drinking and seems to be in great spirits.
Avatar f tn I have a swollen lump under the skin on my right outer vaginal lip. How should I treat it and what might it be. If it helps I haven't shaved in a long time and know it's not an STD. It only hurts if you touch it.
Avatar m tn It is under the skin and can be felt at the nearly same position even if the skin is shifted around (we think it may not be a part of the skin), it feels like it is situated on the muscle under the skin. She has had it a week and she finds it annoying. Could you please tell me what you think it is and what we should do?
Avatar n tn My dog has about a 1.5" round lump on her abdomen on one side. It is not firm, very soft. There are darker spots on it, and it has yellow crust on it. It's not a smooth lump, but a bit bumpy. I havent a clue what it is, and we can't call the vet until Monday. I have a photo. She is a 2 year old lab.
Avatar n tn Two days ago I notice sharp pain at the end of my penis shaft above the right testicles. So I examined it and noticed a marble size lump under the skin. If i was to grab on to it I can feel the shape and is very pain ful. My family doctor is away from couple of days so I am very scared. Can some body tell me what may have caused this.
Avatar f tn Hi i have a 3yr old female staffy and recently ive noticed a very small lump under her skin on her throat and she coughs/retches after drinking her water also her eyes are more often running as if shes crying all the time. Any idea what could be going on with her?
155639 tn?1251738603 Hello, My dog, Nugent, male Lab/Sheppard Mix, 8 years old. 3 1/2 weeks ago underwent surgery to remove 5 lipomas from belly, one lipoma was very large and grew around ribs. Vet spent some time to make sure he removed it all. Per vet, these were not canerous and were lipomas. Nugent recovered and was fine. Fast for to Friday, May 9th. Came home and went to feed my 2 dogs. Noticed that Nugent had what appeared as "extra skin" hanging down from his neck under his collar.
675347 tn?1365460645 I have found a lump on my dog's breast. It was there a couple of months ago, and I took her to the vet who said it was a lymph node up a bit. But I didn't think so. However I did as instructed, and kept an eye on it. It didn't go away, and has grown a little bit bigger. I am going to take her back either tomorrow or Saturday. But am posting here in case you can give me any advice in the meantime. The lump is perfectly spherical, firm, feels unattached to anything inside the breast.
Avatar f tn Two months ago i had a simple mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy. Stage 1, no lymph involvement so no chemo or radiation. Since then, I have a hard area growing immediately under the incision. It looks like a "hot dog" under the skin. It runs the entire length of the incision, sticks out about an inch from my chest and is more than an inch deep at its "tallest" spot.
Avatar n tn I HAVE A 11 YEAR OLD SCHASHER/SHELTIE MIX I FOUND A SOFT MOVABLE LUMP ABOUT 2INCHES LOND AND 1 INCH WIDE UNDER HIS SKIN ON HIS BREAST BONE. HIS EYES ARE CONSTANTLY RUNNING, THERE IS AN ODER ABOUT HIM ( JUST HAD HIS TEETH CLEANED BY VET) AND HE FELL DOWN OUR FRONT HARD WOOD STEPS BACKWARDS YESTERDAY HITTING HIS HEAD. WHAT COULD THIS LUMP BE. FAT, CYST, TUMOR, OR WORST OF ALL CANCER?
