1038917 tn?1253499120 s dog Charlie had a lump on his leg took him to the vet was in fact cancer. He had the lump for years and was healthy and happy it wasn't hurting him at all. The vet removed the lump and months later he died from the operation. My eldest dog 'flure' has this huge lump on the inside of her leg for years. She can run/walk normally we haven't found any sign of discomfort on it with her she's been perfectly healthy and she's 13!

Avatar m tn My dog Pepsi is an 11 year old black lab. She has a fatty lump on her side, but recently I've found a hard lump on her hind leg about the size of a pea. I've also noticed that sometimes she's been holding it funny, but I'm not sure if she had just twisted her leg funny. Is this cancer?
Avatar m tn Hi I have a question about my dog Angelique. 2 days ago I noticed a soft lump on the inside of one of her legs. When I touched it it was soft and moved around. It did not seem to hurt her when I touched it. She is a little overweight. I read up on the internet about soft lump and I read it possibly afatty tumor. Is it true that fatty tumors are harmless and nothing to be worried about and does it sound like that might possibly be what my dog has?
Avatar f tn We have a 14 y-o Golden Retriever who developed a lump on the inside of her right rear leg...up towards her groin. Due to her 'feathers', we never noticed it until my husband was giving her a bath earlier this summer. By that time, it was about the size of a softball. It didn't seem to bother her, and due to our financial situation (he's disabled, without income and my salary barely covers necessities), we couldn't afford to take her to the vet.
Avatar m tn I have a Newfoundlander, and noticed a lump on his underside, between his back leg and testicale. looks to be almost an inch by an inch big.
1518151 tn?1320448947 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.
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 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?
996946 tn?1503249112 My dog Barney is almost 9. He has a lump, similar to a lipoma but it's not. It's located under his right front leg in his rib area. It may have gotten a little bigger in the past month...it's about a 2" oval lump. Considering that it's not a lipoma, is there anything it could be besides some kind of cancer? He's an Australian Shepard mix.
Avatar n tn How did you find out your poor dog has cancer. My dog just developed a lump on his paw and it is being treated with meds. I posted about it a few minutes ago. I am so sorry about your dog.
Avatar m tn I have a 9 year old German Shepard mix. We just noticed a swollen area on his hind leg. It is on the inner side of his upper hind leg. It seems semi hard maybe like a water balloon and is sort of oval or banana shaped. I have seen not evidence of trauma or bites and it does not seem top be causing him any pain. Any thoughts or suggestions as to what it might be. Short from a vet visit is there anything I should do?
436837 tn?1293793226 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!
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn About 3 weeks ago, found a lump on his left hind leg which within a week increased to the inside of his leg down to his groin. Later, there were red rings being formed all across his body which were a small dot when they started and later increased to 3 inches in diameter. the outer circle of the rings where red. We went to 5 vet's and no diagnosis could be done.
Avatar n tn He had an operation this morning to remove a small lump off his right eyelid, several hours later found a huge lump of fluid under his front left pit area. A few hours after that i worringly found on the top left of the forehead area a dip in the skull???? Could anyone let me no if they have ever heard of anything simular because im absolutely baffled!!!
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Overnight my 13 year old female Great Pyrenees developed a large lump on the side of her face. It has almost caused her eye to swell shut. I am not seeing any noticeable different discharge from her eye. She seems to get relief from me rubbing it. Thinking it may be a tooth infection, however she shows no sign of any discomfort when eating. She also has a large lump on her left side above her leg which I have just assumed was a cyst.
765439 tn?1292960414 Well it never healed and we went back today because we found another round lump on his back leg!!!(i know ipulled something off of this lump but nto sure if it was a tick) Anyway vet told us he;d be surprised if it was cancer but I think that's bc of our dog's age.....an since puppies get cancer that means nothing... he aspirated him and we will get results wednesday. it looks lie my second young dog will die from cancer...i am a jinx.
Avatar n tn my 5 year old dog has had a scab on her right left leg.. The groomer always mentioned it, well she pulled it off the other day. I looked and it was an actual hole in her skin. I cleaned it with a q-tip and it was somewhat clean. The scab was a long soft plug.. I am concerned could this be cancer? She has another one growing this quickly in the same hole.. She wasnt in pain when the groomer twisted it off.. I dont know why she would have done that, I was annoyed.
Avatar n tn At first, the vet was going to do a fine needle biopsy but since my dog was spayed when she was 4 and the lump is close to a breast area, another vet recommend that he will remove the lump instead. He said that it might be risky to do a biopsy and he was concerned it could be malignant. My dog is scheduled to have the lump removed tomorrow morning. After the removal, he would have to send it to a pathologist to have it checked.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anybody could help me with my situation. I hit my leg on concrete very hard the other day and now I have a huge lump on my leg and I don't know what's going on. It's purple with a scrape on it. Should I go see a doctor about this? Or should I just leave it be? I'm very concerned.
Avatar n tn Hello, I have a 2 ½ year old sheltie mix, and live in California and I’m getting a little worried about my dog. I was giving him a bath and noticed a hard lump. It is underneath the skin, it started as an about 2 inches wide hard lump on his back between his shoulder blade right on the spin. Then a week after I noticed that it doubled in size and it is very soft, and feels like there is fluid in it. First I thought it was from the dog fight that he got into a week before I noticed it.
Avatar f tn needs to have it removed.....Any lump or growth on a dog needs to be evaluated as soon as they appear.....The longer you wait, the worse it will get & the harder it will be to remove......Your dog needs to see his Vet ASAP......Let us know what you find out!
Avatar f tn My Boston Terrier has a small, round, firm lump on his ear flap; about the size of a small pea. It's slowly been growing over the last 6 months or so. Doesn't seem to bother him, even when we poke at it. It's not red, it's the same color as his skin, however it is hairless. Any ideas what this might be?
Avatar f tn This one Istop huge and red and hard. My husband said he has noticed the dog getting a small lump there lately but then going away. But nothing of this size. Please email or text for picture if you have medical knowledge.
215164 tn?1269466240 Jelly-like or mucussy stools, with or without blood can be caused by a worm infestation. But that can also be caused by some food which has disagreed with your dog. My dog, for instance (I'm not saying this is the case with your dog) -had mucus in her stools when someone gave her sugary cake (not me, may I add!!) and once when she accidentally got hold of some chocolate.
