Beagle / slightly larger muscle on back legs.

Question
This maybe of really no concern but my 11 year old beagle / bassett (50/50) has developed what appears to be larger muscle masses (of equal size )at the top of each of his hind legs. I guess you could also call it his lower back.  He's not sensitive or necessarily hindered in walking.  I can massage these areas and he's not sensitive at all.  Its just what feels like muscle seems larger than I'd think it ought to be. What do you think?

Answer
Hi David!

I really had never heard of this before!It doesn't sound like anything serious but I would contact your veterinarian just to make sure.

I hope this has been helpful and I wish you the best of luck!Please keep me posted and give that beagle doggie million of kisses for me!Sending wagging tails your way!
