What it could be

Lumps & Bumps can have several possible causes

This section is not a diagnosis. It gives sensible possibilities to help you decide what to monitor and when to involve your vet.

Could be 1

Benign fatty lump or cyst

Some lumps are harmless, but you cannot reliably tell by looking. Size, speed of growth and feel matter.

Could be 2

Abscess, bite or inflamed swelling

Painful, warm or fast-appearing swellings may be infection, trauma or a reaction under the skin.

Could be 3

Tumour or abnormal growth

Any new or changing lump should be checked, especially if firm, attached, bleeding, ulcerated or growing.

When to call a vet

Book a vet check for any new lump. Go sooner if it grows quickly, bleeds, ulcerates, is painful or your dog seems unwell.
