lump dog neck

my dog has a lump on the side of her neck...not in the middle--more under her cheek. she is a boston terrier and is overweight and has a couple of soft fatty tumors on her body but this lump on her neck is new. I just noticed it today and its abt the size of a golfball, soft and she doesn't cry when i squeeze it gently. what could this be? It doesn't seem to have a head like an abscess would.

My friends dog is a 9 year old cockapoo, and the other day I noticed she had a red bloody spot in her fur behind her head, on the backside of her neck. The lump is about the size of a walnut; hard and leaking small amounts of blood. My friends not sure if the dog scratched it to make it bleed, so she took a close look at the sore spot and gently squeezed it getting more blood and puss out of it. She then washed it with antiseptic wash and covered it.

Please do get him seen by the vet, but a soft, movable lump does not necessarily suggest a cancer to me. I have a very lumpy dog, she has some lipomas (fatty tissue) which are soft and movable, and gets cysts (fluid-filled smallish ones) now and again, which come and go. EVERY single new lump gets checked out professionally, but I am becoming a lump-connoisseur (is that how you spell it?) with my dog, and have got used to how all these different lumps feel.

my cockapoo has a lump on the back of her neck were a tick was removed a year or longer ago it left a small lump and its getting bigger size of dime or it could have been when she got a shot a year ago or so shes not sick and it doesnt bother her what could it be?

I have a 8 year old boston terrier/ French bull mix. He has developed a lump suddenly on his neck under his jaw about the size of a golfball. Vet says possible saliva gland infection or lymphnode. Im so worried he's like one of the kids. So he's been on antibiotics 5 days with no change and now he has started to be incontinent. I would welcome any suggestion or feedback.

My 16yr old Schiperkke was backed over by a neighbor on a cell phone. Dog went to vet and x-rays revealed nothing broken,"Her fat may have saved her life". While that is very funny, after a long recovery, she still has a mass where the tire pinched her butt to the ground.She gets along OK but now has poop sticking to her fur,as her tail is no longer inside her tail flap,(Skips don't have tails).So I deal with that. But a year later?, the flappy large area is still there. The Vet.

My dog is a five year old dachshund mix. He suddenly developed a lump on his left cheek. I took him to the vet and they prescribed antibiotics for him. The vet poked it with a needle and said no fluid or blood came out which was a good sign. However, he keeps throwing up the meds and it seems like the lump has moved downwards some and seems more spend out. After reading about the cancers etc.on here I'm freaking out. Please let me know what I should do next.

We have yet to see if there is a solid mass the size of a hens egg which was under her jaw before it started to grow, and to ascertain whether that initial lump was a calcified lump from a previous abcess or a swollen gland. Will let you know final outcome. cheers.

I have a 10 month old female pit bull puppy who has a lump on the right side of her neck just below her jaw. I came home from work 2 days ago and saw this lump on my dog for the first time ever. The lump was about 4 times larger when I first saw then it is currently. I have not seen anything out of the ordinary in her behavior. She has remained extremely active and does not show any signs of being in any pain.

My dog has a bussy sore on the back of his neck which is not getting any better, is there anything I can do? I think this was from a insect bite? was first noticed a week ago as a small lump, it has now spread down the back of his neck.

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.

My 7 year old black lab has a lump on the back of his neck where he received an inoculation as a puppy. The lump developed within days and has never caused any problems. Well.... a few days ago I noticed it appeared to have bled. I thought I'd caught it with his Furminator so cleaned it up and it was 'fine'. Tonight I noticed his hair in that area looked clumped together and I can see where blood has come thru the hair follicle openings. I'm very concerned!

Good day, I have a great dog (coco). She can not stop scratching. She also has a lump on back and behind ear. The itching is obsessive and one marble size lump appears annually. She is taking antihistamines per vet. Has anyone experienced this?

For a two years I've had this charlie hoarse and lump feeling on and off in my throat. Lump much more often. I don't know if the two are related but I'm having a charlie hoarse right now. I find that forcing myself to "burp" significantly minimizes or entirely relieves the charlie hoarse (though I still feel the small lump when I swallow). Hope this helps!

I discovered a lump in my right breast. I never noticed it before. When the dog stepped on it it seemed to be a little tender. This is when I noticed it. It seems to be abit large. It measures 3" x 2" and is rather solid. I had a breast reduction about 27 years ago so I've always felt some lumps in my breast area but nothing this large. It doesn't seem to bother me.

In March she had a lump appear on the top of her head and started to have problems moving around, she seemed to have a problem with her left hip.

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.
