Common Questions and Answers about Lump on dog's chest
lump
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.
This sore appears on my dog's jowl on the outside of his mouth. Does anyone know what this is please?
A lump on the earflap can be an aural hematoma, however if they aspirated the lump to do a biopsy it would have been obvious that it was a hematoma because the syringe would have been filled with blood.
It could be a mast cell tumor. A week seems an awfully long time to wait for a biopsy, and to you it must seem interminable! Even if it is a mast cell tumor it is possible to have it completely excised. As long as they remove the whole thing a cure is completely possible.
I recently noticed a small lump where my dogs front leg meets his chest. It's a light red color and small (probably 5 or 6 millimeters). It's hard and I feel like it's gotten slightly bigger since I first noticed it about a week ago, but I might just be paranoid. He's acting perfectly normal and is always full of energy though. I haven't gotten a chance to take him to a vet yet, and I'm just curious what the likelihood of it being a tumor is?
I can't tell you exactly what the lumps are. The real answer is to get her checked out with a ve?. Are these lumps soft and very rounded in feel? Or are they mobile? If so, they COULD be lipomas or harmless cysts? But of course I don't want to give you the wrong idea. The only way to tell for sure is to get them examined, and maybe even a fine needle aspiration on them to be sure.
(I know. I have a lumpy dog, God bless her. I have seen and felt so many dog-lumps this last few years!
Ginger is correct. Even if a dog has been neutered they still get the swelling on the penis. Dogs, like people, masturbate because it feels good to them. Neutering them will not prevent them from doing this, it merely prevents them from being able to impregnate a female, so if they are in the mood, they can still bet an erection.
Since about 4 monthso on the left side of my dog's anus(sorry i dont really know the specific terms) there is a lump or it is swollen. He can poop normally with no problem , and he acts healthy as usual. He is about 8 years old . I took some pictures , can you people help me know what is this?

s overweight for her height. Her coat is fairly thin compared to our other English, as we can see her skin through her fur on her sides, and his coat is much thicker, but he only weighs 52lbs at 2 years old.
About a month ago I felt what I thought was a tick on the underside of Fiona's ear. When I looked at it, it was a little smaller than a pencil eraser, but was not a tick, it was a bump with a scab on it.
This lump seems to have been getting bigger which worries me but not a lot bigger. It is hard like a bone, although no match lump on other side of chest. it does not move although hurts to be pushed on.
I have been to the doctor who all he did was touch around it for about a minute or less, then said i was fine.
My 5 year old male Doberman called Fiel, ( which means faithful / loyal in Spanish) has a hard swelling around his first nipple on his right side. It's about 3 inches round and protrudes out at the centre about 1/4 inch. It looks like half a large boiled egg. At first I thought at first it was a muscle strain but now it feels like its attached and is definitely noticeable. I will be taking him to my vet on Monday but I've got a terrible feeling this is something bad.
Hello~It is highly unlikely like an eye infection could cause a lump under your dog's neck. You need to take her to the vet in any event to have the infection in her eye taken care of, otherwise, it could get worse and cause blindness.
How old are you? Where precisely is the lump located? Near or on your breast or on the chest wall itself? What are the other characteristics of that lump aside from being painful? How big is it? Is it red? What's the shape? Is it hard or soft?
I can answer your question better if you can give the additional information. Hope to hear from you soon.
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.
There is a huge lump, the size of a baseball on the back of my puppy's neck. The lump has doubled in size since yesterday and am wondering what this could be. It feels like there is liquid in it and everytime we touch the area, my puppy cries. What could this be? Can a stick a needle in it and try to pop it?
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.
My poodle is 8 years old and has developed a big lump on her chest. It's soft but has gotten bigger over time. During her last visit to the Vet, I mentioned the lump, the doctor didn't seem that concerned because it was soft not hard. My poodle isn't bothered by it and is in no pain. Can anyone tell me if this is common in old dogs or just poodles? Is there anything that I can do?
That sounds like what the vet above just described, which is called the "Bulbus Glandis" It is a gland which swells quite large and round-ish, and is usually about half way up the dog's penis. It shows up when the dog gets an erection, and goes away when the penis goes back to flaccid again.
It does sound like this. Is that what you find happens? That it swells up, then disappears minutes or so later?
If so, that's perfectly natural and nothing to worry about at all.
Is the lump/sore bright red? It sounds like a condition called "cherry eye" and it is very common in cocker spaniels. It appears literally overnight and it is actually a prolapse of a gland in the nictitating membrane, or third eyelid. A very simple surgery will return the gland to its original position. The condition isn't painful although it looks painful. This gland is responsible for 30-40% of the tear production of the eye.
