Hello there! I completely understand why you might be concerned about your dog's X-ray showing a mass. It can be worrisome, but let's break it down and think about the potential possibilities together.
A "mass" on an X-ray could be due to various reasons—it might be something as simple as a benign growth or more serious like a tumor. It could also represent an abscess, cyst, or even a hematoma, which is a localized collection of blood outside of blood vessels.
For at-home care right now, ensure your pup is comfortable and stress-free. Monitor for any changes, like appetite loss, difficulty breathing if the mass is in the chest area, or any visible signs of discomfort. It's crucial to keep an eye on symptoms such as rapid weight loss, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or any unusual behavior, as these could indicate more serious issues.
If you notice any of these signs, or if the mass seems to be growing, it's important to seek professional advice promptly. Since this can be a complex topic, I recommend booking a video consult with a vet here on Dial A Vet. They can guide you through the next best steps and what this means for your furry friend's health. Take care, and remember, we're here to support you and your dog!

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
