Question
My Dog has a medium sized bump on his stomach. It use to be the size of a penny an now its about the size of a quarter. I'm not very sure what it may be. So if you could answer my question that would be wonderful!!

Answer
Not sure exactly where it is located, but it could be  hernia and if it gets large it is important to have it fixed.  It depends on how hard it is or the shape as to what it could be.  Some dogs get fatty tumors too (even if they are not really overweight).  Check him out at your vet.
