Common Questions and Answers about Lump on golden retriever

lump

Avatar f tn My 12 year old golden retriever has a squishy lump in his ear flap about the size of a half dollar. It is not red or inflamed and you cannot tell anything from the outside, you can only tell by feeling. I am wondering what this could be. He doesn't seem to be in any pain or bothered by it at all. Thank you.
Avatar n tn My 8/9 year old golden retriever has been acting a bit strange lately. She hasn't been eating her food when we give it to her, only a couple hours after. She has a very dry nose. I guess she's been very "lazy" lately, lying around and not responding to anything that usually excites her. I also noticed a tiny lump on her side, that you can kinda move around. She has a strange scar on her "elbow" that she's had since I could remember.
Avatar m tn There is no wY to tell you what the lump might be or how to treat it. Is it on top of the skin or under the skin? Is it hard or soft? It could be some infection, a bite, an abscess or even Puppy Strangles,which can be fatal. If you are concerned, the best thing you can do is have your Vet check it. That way, you will definitely know what it is and if it needs treatment.

4733442 tn?1358513248 My puppy had a fall on his side yesterday but didn't yelp or cry when it happened. He now has a swollen lump on his side where he fell. It's right below his rib cage. He doesnt seem to be in any pain and is eating and drinking normally. He doesnt show signs of discomfort when I touch the swollen lump either. Just wondering if I should be really worried or if this is like a doggie bruise?
436837 tn?1293793226 our mix breed,( part golden lab, part huskie, part miniture collie, part retriever) has a nickel size blood filled lump on his toe. I took him to the vet who aspirated fluid and checked it under the microscope..she said it was hard to diagnois because of all the blood, but said she the cells were abnormal...she said if the growth is removed the toe should come with it..fine but we don't have $1000 to spend on this procedure, which she said minute by minute is the approximate cost....

Avatar m tn I have a golden yellow lab retriever who is white female, she develop a lump, had it removed, developed more on body and we feel the removal is worse then her living with the lumps. she is happy and playful, not sick what is your advice...
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 f tn I have an old Golden Retriever that is starting to bark for no apparent reason. He doesn't want food, he has water, he won't go out side, except to do his business. What can we do?
620877 tn?1282764097 My Golden retriever has had a few episodes recently where in the middle of the night, first thing in the morning or late afternoon (so all when her stomach is empty), has vomited a frothy bile substance. She is eating normally, her stool is normal, normal water intake, energy is fine. The only thing that I can think of that might be causing this: bully sticks. But, I have been giving her bully sticks for months, so I don't know why all of a sudden she would not be able to tolerate them.
Avatar m tn I am disabled and have a Therapy Dog (not Service Dog). I adopted my Golden Retriever from a local shelter in March 2005, when he was 2 yrs. old, so he is 10 1/2 now and I have had him 8 1/2 years. I had a Care Credit account for vet services but due to economy etc. my bills all are in collections and I only live on social security disability. My dog has had all his shots and meds through the same vet, who does a low-cost clinic monthly. He's current on flea/tick meds, heartworm, etc.
Avatar m tn I have a 5 year old golden retriever. 3 days ago she dropped to the ground and couldnt move, and was whining in pain. we took her to the vet and she said she sprained her ankle. its been 3 days and my dog has been in the same position and she cant move. she goes to the bathroom on herself bc of the lack of mobility. she doesnt whine anymore but she doesnt eat. we are feeding her baby food. we called the vet today and she said to schedule an appointment with a spine and neuro doctor.
Avatar f tn My female golden Retriever has developed bumps on the back of both her ears. It doesn't bother her and its not itchy but i want to know what they could be?? She's a year and six months old.
Avatar n tn I am so sorry about your news and I feel your pain & confusion. I have a beautiful high energy healthy & happy 11 year old golden retriever who's biopsy came back today as a fibrosracoma also. She developed a lump on her upper jaw and under her muzzle that grew pretty fast so a biopsy was in order.
765439 tn?1292960414 I have some experience with a Golden Retriever that developed fat pockets on his chest at about the age of 10. On large one was removed and the dog was diagnosed with a slow growing cancer. We did not treat the cancer and additional pockets formed a couple of hears later and he was put down at age 12. The cancer was checked by biopsy - you didn't mention any biopsy, why not. That is not an expensive procedure if tissue is easily obtained.
Avatar m tn Could someone please provide some insight. She is female golden retriever age 3. We spend a lot of time in the woods, lakes, and, rivers.
Avatar m tn 6 year old golden retriever (rescued four years ago). I run home from work for lunch and she has swollen red "welts" down her back and sides...face and ears are fine. She was just shaved three weeks ago due to her history of hot spots, so they are very visible. Any ideas?
306867 tn?1299249709 So what's your best guess on what the first dog will be ? Poodle.....Golden retriever....big dog.....little dog....? My hopes are that they get a mutt from the pound. With all the foreclosures, millions of dogs & cats have lost their homes.
Avatar m tn I think there is little or no humping in this case, but he labradoodle did hump a neutered larger golden retriever in the past. The Golden R. has passed away and was both older and bigger, yet the labradoodle what the most inclined to hump. Here I think the lines of the black labradoodle are from more aggressive dogs, has more of a need to dominate.
Avatar n tn My 125 pound 11 year old golden retriever started having seizures about a year ago approximately 1 monthly. On Friday 1/21/17 he had 9 seizures in a row. The next morning the vet started him on 6 grain phenabarbital morning and night. By the second day on this medication he stopped using his hind quarters. I convinced the vet to reduce the phenobarbital and he has been on 2 grain twice a day since 1/23/2017 The vet started him on rimadyl 1/24/2017 thinking it was due to inflammation.
Avatar f tn My 14 month old golden retriever has developed bulging eyes over the last 2 weeks. I have taken him to the vet, and they don't think it's glaucoma, but are not sure what it is. We had bloods taken at our request to test for a thyroid problem, and are still awaiting results. his pupils are not as reactive as they should be, but there is no cloudiness and no apparent pain. he is not rubbing at his eyes or anything like that.
Avatar n tn I have an 8 month old golden retriever and have just noticed a lump on the back of his meck - just above where his back starts. Th lump is about the size of a gold ball. Could this be the identity chip we had put in or something sinister?
Avatar n tn I had a 10 week old Golden Retriever puppy that suddenly developed seizures that wouldn't stop. He was perfectly fine...no symptoms at all one minute, then started having seizures the next. I immediately drove him to the emergency vet (it was 1:30 am) who ran blood tests. The initial blood test showed a high white cell count along with a 106 fever. He had to put him under general anesthesia to stop the seizures.
Avatar n tn Today our beloved Golden Retriever died suddenly, and without warning. He was 4 years old, and in seemingly perfect health. My mother was in the yard where he was running and playing happily. She turned her back on him for no more than a minute. When she turned around and approached him, he was lying on the ground without life. There were no external indications of trauma or struggle. We are very saddened by this loss, and even more so by the seemingly random nature of what happened.
655875 tn?1295695107 After being in severe chronic pain for a year, hubby decided to surprise me and get me a large kennel for mothers day! YAY! I did buy a golden retriever a few weeks ago, but it ended up attacking me several times, my daughter, my neighbor and then the breeder saw how vicious she was when I brought her back a week later. I am looking for another golden retriever. :) The week the puppy was here made my days go by very fast.
Avatar n tn I have a 10 year old Golden Retriever that has developed a hard lump on the bride of her nose, that you can press on with no reaction from the dog. Took her to the vet and she really had no answers but to biopsy it, really don't know what to do. any ideas?
Avatar f tn My 6 yr old golden retriever has something on his lower jaw. As you can see in the picture it is about the size of a quarter. My guess is tapeworms or possibly staph. Any information is helpful.
Avatar n tn t answer, but I can say we had (decided) to put our 12 year old beautiful and wonderful and loving Golden down - his picture is in my picture file on my profile here. Ours had cancer in fat pockets and removal didn't stop the formation of new cancerous pockets, chemo didn't seem to be an option. We would have, however, kept the dog alive longer is he seemed to be happy and not in pain.
