Answer 2

Well. Not sure about that but my dog has got a lump on his back leg and it gets bigger. So i would say get it checked and if needed get it removed because my dog needs his removed now. So i hope that helped you.

My cat had a lump in the lower part of her tail. When we took her to the Vet they told us that it was once broken and that the previous owner did nothing about it so the bone did not connect in the right place. she had to get surgery. They had to break the tail and put the bone in the correct place. i would say take your dog to the Vet the lump could be very painful.

Another answer:If the lump is new and/or growing, it's probably an indication of a cyst -- what kind I can't say without more information. Alternately, such a lump could indicate a fracture.

In any case, growths and asymetries are not a good thing, and as we have no idea what we're looking at without a lot more information, you'll need to take this animal to the vet. You can't fix this at home, and you've given me no reason to assume the problem will resolve on its own.

Answer 3

My dog has a lump under her skin. It has grown since it has been there and her vet constantly reassures me that since it's right under the skin and you can move it a little, it doesn't feel connected like a growth, that it's just a fatty deposit. It should also be a little squishy like fat. You should really get it checked though, I had a cat who had a similar growth, but it turned out to be cancerous. Very Painful.

My dog also had a lump right under the skin and it ended up to be a tumor. The tumor was cancerous and so the best thing to do is take it to the vet and see what they think don't let it grow to big my dogs did and it erupted it was the worst ever so keep an eye on it and take it to the vet also if it is a Labrador that is common but I don't know what type of dog it is.

Could also be an abcess caused by a sticker or thorn.

Answer 4

Its actually there spine bone, it has bumps and some stand out. If that's not the case, they have a growth tumor or skin growth. My dog had two on his head and cheek, we had to get it removed. Hope that helped. If none of those are the case, Google it. Sorry if so.

Answer 5

Not all lumps in dogs are cancerous. Some lumps may be benign growths like lipomas or cysts. It's important to have any new lumps or changes in existing lumps checked by a veterinarian to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Answer 6

It could be a fatty tumor or it could be a cancer. Best if looked at by a vet.
