Question
I just noticed this morning a lump that is right behind my minuature poodles front right leg.  Any suggestions on what it could be?  It does not seem to cause her any pain.

Answer
Hi Melissa :-)

It is very difficult to say what this lump could be. It could be any number of things from a benign growth, tumour, cyst or a fatty lump.

In most cases it is a fatty lump but you will need to make a appointment with your Vet for a examination because all lumps need to be investigated straight away incase it is a cancerous growth.

Try not to worry because it is most likely a fatty lump but do take him to the Vet.

Take care and all the best and please leave me a comment.
