Unknown re-growing lump/mass on my dog despite numerous vet visits and tests..

Hello there,



I completely understand how concerning it can be to deal with a recurring lump on your furry friend. It's great that you're being proactive by seeking help. Lumps in dogs can be caused by a variety of things, such as benign growths (like lipomas or cysts), infections, or, on rare occasions, more serious issues like tumors.



Since you've already been to the vet multiple times, I assume they've ruled out common skin infections or minor irritations. If the lump continues to grow or change in appearance, it might be necessary to explore additional types of testing, such as a biopsy or a different imaging method, to better understand what's going on under the skin.



In the meantime, keep an eye on the lump's size, shape, color, and feel. Note if your dog is licking or scratching it or if it starts to bother them more. Signs that require immediate attention include rapid growth, bleeding, oozing, changes in color, or if your dog seems to be in discomfort or pain.
