WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?
Can this be just a fat deposit? He just had xrays and blood work done 4 days ago and it was normal.
Heading to vet in 1 hour.
Hopefully the fact that it is moveable is a good thing. Wish I had words of wisdom. I don't - but am sending tons of positive thoughts out for handsome Frankie!
I hope it's nothing!
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Sounds like you'll know soon! Let's hope it's nothing.
Been there, done that! A quick needle biopsy should tell you if it's a fatty lipoma. They are rather common.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Bo didn't have chemo, but I found a lump/bump on his neck a few weeks post-amp. Scared me to death and turned out to be nothing. The vet drained it and all was fine. Keep us posted!!
Ok she put a needle in and some really icky brown semi slimy crap came out.
Huh. That's different...
Hope the really icky brown semi slimy crap situation is easily fixable. Keep us posted.

Waiting sucks. Hope it's nothing too hard to fix up.
Keeping a good thought for dear, handsome Frankie.

What does the vet think?

The fact that it moves I hope is a plus. I found a lump on Gus about 6 weeks post, but it wouldn't move, but we didn't take it off because the vet wasn't sure where it originated from and didn't want to get into something that he might not be able to help depending on what it was attatched to, so lets hope moving is good, Paws up, Spirit Gus and Dan
My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010
Still waiting on results. I'm hoping it is a follicular cyst.
I want that on a tee shirt.
