Dogs - lump on pup back


Expert: Shelley Davis - 7/3/2009

Question
i was petting my 6 week old puppy back and right were his spine is there is a lump the size of a quater it moves around and it seems like it dont hurt him it feels like a boil with no head wat do u think is wrong


Answer
Hi Ricky,

Thank you for writing to me about your puppy.  The lump you've described could be anything from a fatty tumor to a malignant tumor.  It is crucial that your dog be checked out by your vet as soon as possible.

Best of luck,
Shelley Davis
