My Pug Has Had This Swollen Lump On Her Front Paw In Between Her Toes…

My pug has had this swollen lump on her front paw in between her toes for a couple weeks now. We had previously assumed it was some kind of fungus and had been keeping it clean. It still hasn’t hasn’t gone away and it’s pretty big and inflamed. It’s reddish brown and normally it didn’t hurt her when we touched it. It also doesn’t hurt for her to walk. My dad tried to pop it this morning and it just oozed a clear fluid which then turned a little bloody. Even after it was popped it didn’t seem to decrease the size. What could this be?

I have also included a photo.

    Unfortunately, we can’t diagnose lumps and bumps online.  A vet needs to examine them in person.  Please get your dog to the vet this week.

    He was vaccinated a clue of weeks ago and he doesn’t have any kind of parasites.

    Would he still have a bump a couple of weeks after getting vaccinated?

    Fancy rats are prone to tumors, and I’d be willing to bet that’s what this is.  Please get her to the vet TODAY about this.

I Took My 6 Year Old Saluki Lurcher To A Drop In Clinic Today As…

I took my 6 year old saluki lurcher to a drop in clinic today as I had noticed a small raised lump which suddenly appeared next to her vulva. Upon brief examination, the vet suspected a histiocytoma and said that because of the area it was located should be removed as soon as possible. She was spayed in 2013 but has since continued to come on full heat with bleeding and he said that at the same time as she is having the histiocytoma removed, he would like to “open her up” and check to see if part of her uterus has been left in. I am concerned because the last vet that I consulted about this said there could be such a small amount of tissue left in there that it would be impossible to see/remove with surgery and that, provided she was healthy it would be best just to leave alone. I want to do the best for my dogs health but do not want her to undergo unnecessary and potentially dangerous surgery. It will surely be bad enough for her having surgery to remove the lump so close to her vulva without undergoing a spaying operation for the second time, especially now she is getting older? If anyone has any opinion or advice, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.

    Ok I do not agree with either vet entirely.  She should be spayed again and it should be done when she comes into heat.  It is a remnant of ovary not necessarily uterus, although there is some uterus left to get bleeding.  

    Not having her spayed she is at a higher chance of breast cancer and can also get an infection in the uteral stump.

    Good Luck

    Thank you for your reply. I feel reassured that it is in her best interest to get her spayed again. Why should she be spayed when she comes into heat? The vet asked me when she was last on heat, which was almost two months ago, and wanted to go ahead with surgery on Wednesday.

Found a lump on my Guinea pigs butt and I’m not sure what it is or what to do about it. It’s right above the butt where the tail would be. Don’t have money to take him to the vet right now. Is there anything I could do to help him without that?

    Hi, the pictures are not visible, can you try again? Guinea pigs commonly get trichoepitheliomas which are most commonly benign and the most common spot for them is near the tail/hind end. That being said, any mass on any animal has potential to be cancerous until proven otherwise. Your vet could aspirate some cells with a needle if the mass is big enough or simply remove it which is recommended while it is small. Even though trichoepitheliomas are usually benign, they can get very large and uncomfortable or ulcerated so removal while they are small (to prevent surgical complications) is recommended.
