breast lumps

Question
my 9 year old mini pin has a cluster of bumps around her nipple.  Is this dangerous?

Answer
Hi Nancy,

There's always the possibility that a lump in the breast area means a malignancy.

There's no way to tell what kind of lump or tumor you've found. Your dog deserves so much more than guesswork. Please have her examined by your vet so you'll know exactly what you're dealing with.

Best of luck,
Patti
