My 2yr old male staffy has had a lump growing on his right side along his bottom rib. I have just been monitoring it and over the last couple of days it has started to change. I have booked him in to our vet but I am so worried.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to tell from the picture exactly what type of mass is growing on your dog.  What I can tell you is going to be evaluated by your vet is the best idea and I’m very happy you have an appointment.  Also, at 2 years of age it becomes less likely that the mass is some type of cancer.  Likely unless it’s a parasite or cyst your vet will likely recommend removal and sending the mass to a pathologist to determine the type of mass.

Good luck!  I hope everything works out for your dog!
