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 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 n tn My golden 9 years old- very active, runs like a 2, years olddog has a soft lump on his back that has been there for 3 years. It has grown quite big but it is benign and does not seem to bother him. Just recently, he scratched it and it bled a little and got infected. He is on antibiotic and there is no infection any more. The vet suggests that it should be surgically removed. We had another lump or cyst removed that was at his armpits. Should this one be removed ?

1038917 tn?1253499120 My dog Champ who is a yellow lab is 7 years old. He has a lump on his back leg, like on his hip. It is the size of a golf ball, it seems a little swishy but I am not for sure. I noticed it about 1 month ago and just didnt think anything of it, thinking it would go away, well its not gone. He has an apt. this Friday with his vet. I am wondering what it could be, the first thought that comes to my mind is cancer! I am wondering if there is anything else it could be?
Avatar f tn It is very likely though in a 1 year old dog that this is a cyst. But there is NO WAY to tell what a lump or bump is. Even vets can't always say....without further investigation, such as a fine needle aspiration. This is a quick procedure and doesn't need any anaesthetic. Sometimes they send away the sample and sometimes can tell you right there and then if it looks simple (such as if it's fatty tissue or a sebaceous cyst etc.) Please don't be scared.
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've found a lump on my dog ear and it's big you can't see down his ear canal cause it's that big I'm so scared for him he cry when you touch it vet ain't open and I don't know what to do can anybody help me please thank you
938357 tn?1245065983 My dog had the same thing. I thought she might have gotten her nipple caught on something. I tried cleaning it and putting an antibiotic on it, but it kept coming back. Since my previous dog had a bout with cancer and "lost", I didn't want to waste anymore time. I took her to the vet. He looked at it and said it needed to be taken off. He didn't see any need for a biospy and all the extra costs. He said it is something he has seen many times in female dogs.
Avatar n tn The vet may just drain it, and apply antiseptic, and probably give you some to keep bathing it with (it will be important to keep the wound open until it is fully drained) Or, like Misfits4Me said, a course of oral antibiotic may be necessary. My dog had an abscess on her back a while ago, and the vet drained it and washed it out with antiseptic, which I then had to do 3 times a day and allow the wound full drainage to stop it filling up again.
Avatar n tn 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.
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.
Avatar m tn "My dog is lethargic, not eating and having difficulty pooping.
Avatar n tn My moms dog has a big huge bump under her jaw and we can't seem to find out what it is. She doesn't eat as much and she isn't so playful we are worried if it might be cancer or a spider bite we do not know what to do.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn My dog has had this bubble on her but for almost 2 years now. I thought it was a tumor, It still can be. here is a picture imgur.com/a/5niUD l Every time i look up anal gland on a dog they all look different so i dont think its that, plus i tried to express her anal gland and i wanst able to.
2203919 tn?1338814855 A couple of weeks ago i found a lump beside my male staffordshire bull terriers penis. It is rather large, and very soft. From the behind, it is on the right side. I am wanting information on what this could be, since im a little worried. It does not stick out much, but when he lies down, it is clearly visible.
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 n tn 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.
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 f tn My dog also has a lump on her neck near or on her thyroid. I just discovered it so will be making an apt with her vet as soon as possible. I often give her massages which include the neck area and have never noticed this before. Is it possible it could be something other than a tumor and if by chance it is a tumor what are the chances it could be cancerous and is this treatable?
Avatar m tn i have recently noticed a large lump just below my dogs penis yet when he goes the toilet it seems to go down should i be worried.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
