Lump on the back of my 10 month old French Bulldog.

Thanks for reaching out about your French Bulldog's lump. I completely understand why you're worried—finding something unusual like this can be disconcerting.



Lumps on dogs can stem from several causes. In young dogs like yours, it's often just a harmless issue like an insect bite, a small cyst, or even a mild infection from an old scratch or bump. Some dogs get little fatty lumps too, though these are more common in older pets.



For now, you can keep an eye on the lump’s size, shape, and color. If your pup doesn’t seem bothered by it—no licking, scratching, redness, or swelling—just monitor it over the next few days. Applying a warm compress might help reduce any irritation if there is slight swelling.



Watch for signs of a more serious issue, such as the lump growing quickly, causing pain, or if it’s accompanied by lethargy, appetite loss, or fever. Those symptoms could indicate an infection or another more concerning condition.



I recommend scheduling a consult with a vet—like a video call through Dial A Vet—to get a professional eye on it. They'll provide peace of mind and help you decide if any further tests or treatments are needed for your furry friend.
