Common Questions and Answers about Lump on dog's paw
lump
The blister come up between her toes and also on areas of her paw. She has been to the vet a number of times and been on various antibiotics, she has also had a small operation to send a sample of the skin on the side of her paw sent to a specialist to be tested - no cancer etc was picked up. She has just finished her last course of antibiotics and the paw is now worst than it was before. I am extremely concerned and the vet does not know what this problem is.
Vet did x-ray again and said that i is caused by arthritis,said we should continue on Dasuquin.About two days later she developed another leision on the hind paw that she was limping.We went to vet again,she took samples and sent them to lab for test for: Fungal cultures(histo,blasto,etc)and anaerobic cultures.She ordered Clavamox this time.My dog has been on Clavamox for a week now and just two days ago I noticed another sore popping up.
A few hours ago I was on a bed and when I stepped off the bed I stepped on my dogs front paw. She has been limping on it, I lightly moved her paw and toes, she didnt yelp but flinched a little bit. I feel bad and I am not sure what to do. We are very tight on money and I dont want to take her to the vet if she will just heal with time. Any help is greatly appreciated.
3 weeks ago our 8 yr old dogs left paw swelled up. We saw no injury in the pad, it wasn't sensitive to touch and she doesn't lick it. She limps for the first few steps after laying for a while, but then no limp. She uses it to hold a toys when chewing on them. Our vet said he has no idea why. She had an inflamed lymph nodes in her neck & chest and he did blood work 2 months ago but everything was ok.
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.
My 2.5 year old Bichon has been excessively licking on his paws, usually a back foot non stop. We can't see anything wrong with his foot. Any ideas on why he would do this?
Also, he pees in the house sometimes. I notice that on the weekends that we have the kids, he seems to do this more than on the weekends that it's just my husband and I.
This sore appears on my dog's jowl on the outside of his mouth. Does anyone know what this is please?
my 10-yr-old JRT had small scab on underside of ear flap a while back, a couple days ago I noticed a dime-size lump, today it is size of quarter and noticeably thickened. Before I try to find a new vet would respectfully request of Dr. Cheng some general information about what might be going on. I DREAD cancer as I know everyone does. I'm not rich and have to get as much education on this topic before going to a vet.
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.
Our 10 year old spaniel/New Foundland mix is overweight, and we started walking her. Two weeks ago after walking, she never stopped panting, and has been panting ever since. The only time she doesnt pant is when she lies with her head flat between her paws. Initially an urinalysis, thyroid profile, lab profile(CBC), lab profile (gen diag) were done. Then chest x-rays were done, and Prednisone, Ciprofloxacin, and Aminophyline perscribed.
About five weeks ago or so, my dog got on her front paw something like a bump. It was itching her and in fact she finally bit off the crusty part of the itchy spot with the hair.
The skin looked a little inflamed, however she stopped biting it and it seemed like the spot wasn't bothering her anymore.
I was hoping for the spot to go away but it never did, and it got darker instead. Now some hair are starting to grow back.
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!
My dog has had an open wound on her paw for several months, I keep treating it but she wont leave it alone and it won't heal. She had another place on her face but it finally did heal. Could this be a bigger problem? Also, this past summer she had a seizuer but has not had one since. She is slightly over weight and I have her on weight management dog food. Can anyone help me with this?
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.

Hi...just read a couple of exchange on this topic. Wow. You guys have some experience! Please help me if you can. I'm posting this 2/19 and I had my (first) stent placed during heart cath on 1/30. I'm a 53 yr-old guy who was very active, non-smoker, good BP and "fine" until mid-Jan '12 when I couldn't do 5min on elliptical without chest, neck, arm tightness...couldn't carry groceries in or clean up dog's paw prints without the feeling coming on.
