DevoidOvTalent 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 come on guys give me your opinion im not tryimg to catch anyone out i aint got the foggiest idea what it may be Small lumps, bumps, growths, and skin tags are very common on older dogs. If it looks suspicious (keep growing, grows very quickly, strange color, bleeds or is crusty, etc.) have your vet do a biopsy on it to check for malignancy. If a bump is harmless I will usually leave it alone, unless it is in a spot that gets injured easily or it impedes the dog's movement. I've had a couple old dogs that got quite lumpy.

Pignut 4 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 My old lurcher has a sort of collection of lumps almost like a chestnut on a horse's leg. It is a group of hard warty things and the vet said not to worry. He is old and getting single warts too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 My labx gets/has a few skin tags on elbows & body, my collie had papiloma which he had removed. Keep an eye on it, if it starts to grow quick or goes manky looking take dog to vets. Most of the skin tags are harmless- some turn cancerous. The pic is a bit blurred. Nothing you can do at minute unless you want peace of mind & then it's only vet that can really tell you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
