Your dog's neck may have lumps beneath the skin, a situation that understandably raises concern, even though it doesn't seem to bother him much.
- Monitor any changes in size, shape, or number of lumps
- Check for any signs of discomfort or pain
- Note any additional symptoms that may arise
Finding lumps on your dog can be worrying, but it's important to understand that many are benign and harmless. Bumps under the skin could be a variety of things, such as a fatty cyst or an insect bite; however, it's always best to have lumps evaluated by a veterinary professional to rule out any possible underlying conditions. We advise keeping track of any changes and scheduling a consultation if you're concerned.
