Hello, I’m sorry to hear about the bump on your dog's front leg. Let's see how I can help you with this concern!
A bump like the one you described could be due to several potential causes. It might be a benign growth like a lipoma, which is a fatty tumor and usually harmless. Other possibilities include cysts, abscesses (which can result from an infection), or even insect bites. There are also some more serious conditions, like mast cell tumors, which would need attention.
At home, monitor the bump for changes. You can gently feel the bump to see if it’s soft or hard. Also, watch for any redness, swelling, or pain when touched. Keep an eye on your dog’s behavior too. Are they licking or scratching the area a lot?
If you notice rapid growth, changes in texture or color, or if the bump becomes painful or seems to bother your dog, it’s time to get a professional opinion. Be sure to observe signs like lethargy, loss of appetite, or any significant changes in your dog's behavior, as these could be indicators of something more serious.
I recommend booking a video consult with a Dial A Vet professional to get a closer look and ensure your dog's health and comfort. We’re here to help you every step of the way!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
