Question
my boxer pup is about 5 months old now.  he has two golf ball sized lumps on either side of his docked tail.  is this common with boxers or something to worry about?


                               thank you.

Answer
Anytime your dog has any kind of growth or lump you should have him seen and diagnosed by a vet. They could be just cysts, or they could be a form of cancer and without having him seen by a vet there is really no way to know the difference. Either way they likely are going to cause problems if they continue to grow and will need to be removed,
Good luck
