My dog has a hard lump on its body. Is it serious?

[]

Answer

Any new lump or mass on your pet's body should be evaluated by a veterinarian to determine its nature. While many lumps are benign, such as lipomas (fatty tumors) or cysts, some can be malignant (cancerous) and require prompt attention. Your vet will perform a physical exam and may recommend further diagnostics like a fine needle aspirate (FNA) or biopsy. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
