Lumps and Bumps
August 08, 2006
I’m getting kind of concerned. Two months ago I had Pugsley at the vet and asked the Doc to look at this little lump on his upper left front leg. The vet said he was sure it was nothing, not too deep and that he could probably lop it off during a routine office visit if it started to bother him . Now I’m noticing though that its growing bigger and redder and uglier by the day.
It’s such a worry with these senior loves. They are so sweet and cuddly and sleepy all the time and unfortunately always prone to these old age lumps and bumps that give me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I think I’ll have to take him back in for a second look. Maybe they can lance it off right there with a local anesthetic. Wish Pugsley luck!

LUCK Pugsley! I hope it turns out to be nothing and he doesn't even miss the lump when it's gone! Kisses and hugs from Meimei and Miko

Lori - I would get that thing biopsied today! There is no way for any Vet to just look at a lump and tell you it isn't cancerous. The Vet told me he was 99% sure that Norman's lump was a fatty tumor, and it turned out to be otherwise.

Good luck to you both!
GoldenBoy gets lumpies on him and the vet recommends getting them removed when they start to change. She sends them off for testing, so far so good. But there is always a chance. They can also stick a needle in it to gather cells for a quick test in the office...

Poor baby!! My thoughts and prayers are w/ Pugsley!! I'm sure he'll be fine.
Matty's sister has a dog(Brandy) w/ that same looking lump and it seems to not bother her ATALL.
Adios!!

Let us know what you find out. I sure hope he's okay. We find lots of lumps on our seniors too.
