Any new lump or growth on your pet should be evaluated by a veterinarian. While many lumps can be benign, like fatty tumors or cysts, some can indicate more serious issues such as infections, abscesses, or even cancerous growths. For an outdoor dog, especially, it could also be a reaction to an insect bite or an embedded foreign body. Your vet can perform a physical examination and may recommend further diagnostics like a fine needle aspirate (FNA) to determine the nature of the lump. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
