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.
She was sick about three weeks ago with a fever and slightly elevated numbers in her pancreas. After several days on antibiotics she started eating again. Then she sprained her toe 11 days ago while running in the park, and is now walking without a limp. Now this purple lump on her stomach just popped up out of nowhere. It doesn’t look like a bite. It’s in between nipples, so it doesn’t have to do with that. She was fixed at three months old, so it shouldn’t have anything to do with mammary glands. Does this look familiar to anyone? I’ve shelled out about $350 in vet bills over the past three weeks and I’d like to avoid another trip if this is something that could just go away on it’s own.
Thank you for so much for your help.
UPDATE: It’s only been a few hours since my post, but the thing ruptured. It’s gone from the dark purple to a clear ring with slight red around it. I’m guessing it was just a large pimple or blister of some kind. I’ve cleaned and disinfected it. I’ll keep an eye on it, but I’m guessing she’s going to be just fine.
Keep it clean probably and infected pimple like bump. I use peroxide on my dogs.
the base of my dogs tail is bothering her and I don’t know what to do to make her feel better its not buised or red or lumped
This is weird, I think site is a bit glitchy – on my screen it says I asked this question, but I haven’t. Can someone tell me if it looks to them like I’ve asked this or if it is just on my screen?
Well thanks! 🙂 Happy to be here
My 2 and a half yr old staff has developed a wart like lump on the flap of his ear, it doesnt bother him but its growing. Its feels scabby and solid. I noticed it after herubber his ear in the grass during a walk so wondering if its a sting
Thanks, he is booked to go to the vets, just thought id see if anyone had any ideas what it is..
I have a 10 year old female labrador who has recently been licking her vagina very frequently. Today we noticed a very large lump next to her vagina. She is not eating, however drinking a lot, but not going to the toilet to wee
She is also breathing more weirdly than normal.
*vulva.
and she needs to be seen by a vet.
Okay thanks to the both of you. Just a little difficult when my mother doesnt work :/ we will obviously take her to the vets, but will not be immediatley.
larger dogs and strong breeds tend to wait longer before letting the owner know something is wrong, leaving less time to treat quickly/ properly. Not eating and breathing changes are major issues. You can usually see a vet for maybe $40 and go from there, arrangements might can be made about the $ (discounts/ payments/charities/etc), so don’t wait.
male 11 yo neutered minpin foster dog. He has had a lump on the side of his penis for months It is getting larger If I touch it he yelps but not every time. He has been peeing and walking around Does this sound like prostate cancer 2 you?
when was the last time you and your vet discussed this?
if never – do so. please. your dog is in pain.
my 4 week old pup was diagnosed with puppy strangles, she drained the large lump below his ear, and gave us penicillian, but now the lump is TWICE the size, he keeps sneezing/coughing, having trouble breathing, weak. im scared he gonna die
Help me PLS! I have a litre of 8 pups that r 4weeks old today. The runt has all of. A sudden gotten a leg lump on right side of his neck below his ear, he is unresponsive, won’t take bottle or. Eye dropper and I think he is going to die!
Any time he moves his head he yelps loud and I feel HORRIBLE for poor lil guy! I got him wrapped up and holding him trying to get some baby formula into him but not having much luck! Could b a bee sting since I had them out in backyard for first time today but I was with them the hole time, for like a half hr, or maybe momma stepped on his neck accidentally!?!? I dunno but I feel helpless an he’s in pain, almost like party listed!!
he needs an emergency vet.

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!
