My dog has a weird lump on his side. Should I be worried?

[]

Answer

Any new lump or bump on your pet should be evaluated by a veterinarian, especially if it's growing rapidly, changing in texture, or causing discomfort. While many lumps are benign, such as fatty tumors (lipomas), some can be more serious, including cysts or cancerous growths. Your vet may recommend a fine needle aspiration (FNA) to collect cells for analysis, which can often provide a diagnosis. Early detection is always best when dealing with masses. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
