Common Questions and Answers about Lump dog leg

lump

my dog has lumps on his hind end and around his sides and his front right leg will shake for no reason can you tell me what this is

but due to the age of the dog they have now decided to stop treatment as this was not helping and they have resorted to trying to make the dog as comfortable as possible they were told 3wks but it has now been 2mths and the dog is quite happy and pain free at the moment but have decided when the time comes they will not let her suffer? You need to talk to your vet and get some answers it might not be as serious and can be cured by removal as it was with my dog?

Here is some sites that helped me in regards to lumps and bumps on dogs. www.petplace.com/dogs/sebaceous-cysts-in-dogs www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1638&articleid=461 http://vetmedicine.about.com/od/diseasesandconditions/ig/Dermatology-Diary-Photos/index.01.

ive recently noticed a lump on one of my doberman's back leg/thigh. i think it's gotten bigger i touched it and it feels kind of squishy? ive seen him pick at it a few times. im worried because i recently lost a dog to cancer. his was on his front leg and it got to size of a softball! he was my life i had him since i was 6. :( so i refuse to lose another! i do work at an animal hospital (kennel assist.) i was thinking of bringing him with me to work tomorrow not sure yet.

But it's no good just going off my guesses. Take her to the vet to be checked out. My dog has 4 breast lumps. All benign. I have decided not to put her through surgery for them as they don't seem to be causing her any trouble. Before she was spayed, one of them DID make her nipple leak a pinkish fluid, yet the tumors were ALL checked and found to be benign.I'm saying that effect CAN happen even if the tumor isn't cancerous. But beware because some can mimic benign tumors....

My dog Champ who is a yellow lab is 7 years old. He has a lump on his back leg, like on his hip. It is the size of a golf ball, it seems a little swishy but I am not for sure. I noticed it about 1 month ago and just didnt think anything of it, thinking it would go away, well its not gone. He has an apt. this Friday with his vet. I am wondering what it could be, the first thought that comes to my mind is cancer! I am wondering if there is anything else it could be?

About three weeks ago, a dog that weights 126 lbs ran into my leg. Immediately, my leg began to swell and the spot where I was hit turned a little red. It is located about four inches above my ankle on the inside of my leg. I put some ice on my leg and propped it up on a chair. My leg was a little sore for the next two days, but it is not difficult to walk or run. Then I noticed that blood was pooling at the bottom of my foot.

It could be an abscess, or a lipoma (which is benign, but can press on nerves nearby) If it is touchy and painful, it is possible it could be an abscess. Sometimes, even lipomas are sensitive. Lots of lumps are not necessarily cancer. My dog is lumpy as a rice pudding, but they are not malignant. There is only one way to find out....,.go see the vet! If by any chance it happened to be a malignant lump, the best plan would be to have it taken off as soon as possible.

my dog has a small lump behind his left front leg. it causes no pain what could it be?

He has eruptions on his skin like little cysts which become red and raw, has lumps under his skin too. He is to the point where he urinates and defecates anywhere----even in the house. But my major concern is this: Sometimes (not on a regular basis though) he will start to eat his food and then walk away, start to make yelping noises and then his back legs start to go out from under him, then his front legs, then onto his side, all the while yelping....

My dog has so many little lumps. She also has 2 or 3 breast lumps. one of them is quite big, over a centimeter. Every single lump she's got has been checked out by the vet (except those tiny sebacious cysts, and I am very familiar with them now. But the first time she had one of those, I took her to the vet to have it checked out) In the case of her breast lumps, they have all been needle-biopsied too. It is always worth it. Most lumps are NOT cancer, but it is not worth running the risk.

Right now she has 4 of them - 2 on her left hind leg, one on her left side near her front leg and one on her head. When I pop them out they are greyish white in colour and large. 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 know for a fact it has with my dog. She had a broken leg years ago (in her past life before I rescued her) Since then she has limped, and 'hitched' that leg from time to time, especially when the weather turned damp and cold. I started her with the supplement a few months ago in the Spring. I have not looked back! For testimony, she is leaping over hurdles 3-4 feet tall! She did that same thing today, chasing a flying bird! She took my breath away!

if you have already gone to the vet, i would go back. recently my dog had a lump removed from her upper back. i had gone to the vet after i noticed a lump. It was moveable, and the vet thought it was cancer. i brought her to a specialist who thought it was not cancer, that it was a hemotoma. He told me if it grow, spreads, etc we need to have it tested. we had it tested with a needle, and they found cancer cells.

General rule when dogs develop lumps and bumps (which most of them do from time to time).....go and get the lump checked out. The vet will most likely take a needle biopsy. This is quick, relatively painless, doesn't need an anesthetic. And find out what the lump is, and whether or not it needs to be removed. Let me add that it's the MINORITY of these lumps that turn out to be cancer. A very small percentage.

The dog was very weak, particularly in the rear legs; she had a hump on her back. The dog has been neutered many years ago. That was three months ago and there has been very little change; if anything she is getting worse with time despite a short, minor rally about a month ago. I have taken her to two separate veterinary surgeons and they are unable to determine the cause. All the tests they performed came out normal.

My dog is about 12 -13 years old. She is a collie cross with alsation. She is diabetic and has lost most of her sight. She has recently developed a cough she never coughs up anything. She has been spayed. She has a lot of lumps on her belly. She had one removed a year ago and i was told it may be cancer of the mammory. Her feet have also nearly doubled in size. Could this be arthritis? She is getting quite unsteady on her feet but will still come for a walk when i ask her all be it a slow one.

She begins with such techniques as rubbing the chest in a circular motion or rubbing where the dog's front legs meet its body. “In my experience I have never come across a dog that did not like his armpits rubbed,” Lopez said. Lopez says owners should watch their dogs' movements and expressions during massages: “Are they moving into your hand? Are they moving away? Maybe you are applying too much pressure. Is it something that you need to change or need to stop?

It could be a thorn or something like that very( painful) or she has twisted her leg running around as before gently feel up and down her leg for any sign of an acute area, heat or a slight swelling. Get someone to hold her while you do all this as if you hit on the site she might bite you with the stress. Do not panic in front of her it will make her worse just like a child,stay calm talking quietly all the time and telling her it will be fine she will understand.

Hello Doctor, 8 yo female Siberian Husky Great overall health Last night I found a rather sizable (golf ball) lump on the interior of my dog's right hind leg (by her knee). The lump is symmetrical and is not movable... it kind of feels like part of her muscle but is so large that I am concerned. I bathed her aprox. 2 weeks ago and did not notice it and she has not had any trauma (to my knowledge) to that region of her leg. Any advice would be most appreciated.

We put a collar on her so she cant lick/bite, but was wondering if there were any suggestions on a natural mix to spray on it (people suggested an Epsom salt mix?) Our vet said if they don't improve in 10 days to bring her in I was able to post a pic of her paw on the other forum, here is the link: http://www.medhelp.org/photos/show/4852066?type=posts Thanks so much in advance!

I hate to assume anything about lumps, especially in a dog her age. When was the last time she had a thorough Vet exam? At her age. It would probably be a good idea to get those lumps and that swelling checked, get a blood panel done and a thorough dental exam. Is she eating? Sorry, anything beyond that and I would just be guessing. Hard to recommend treatment with an unknown cause. Did the Benadryl help?

My nine year old husky lab mix has a golf ball + sized lump on her foreleg just below knee. A biopsy was done two weeks ago with dx. of nerve sheath tumor. Vet recommends surgery to remove tumor, which may return in months to years. I don't want to cause any suffering as she has no symptoms at this point, but it did come up quite suddenly. Anybody with experience of this type of cancer? I am very fearful of surgery turning into amputation.

How long has the lump been noticeable? If it came up recently and very quickly, it may be nothing more than an insect bite. Spider bites are notorious for causing some pretty spectacular swellings in both humans and animals. When you feel the lump, does it move freely under the skin, or does it seem to be attached to deeper tissues?
