Question
My dog has a round mass under the skin near her intestines, could this be a tumor?

Answer
Hi Heather,

It's very possible that the lump you found is a tumor. That said, many types of tumors are noncancerous.

It's important that you have your dog examined by your veterinarian, so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

Treatments vary depending on your vet's findings.

Best of luck,
Patti
