Knot in between neck and shoulder blade

Question
Hi Laura,
I've got a 2 year old English Bulldog and I noticed the overday when rubbing her neck she has a small pealike knot or bump ontop her neck near like above her shoulderblade area. I had her microchipped geeze like 8 monthes ago so I don't think it could be that, and she hasn't had any vacc. lately. Should I be freaking out and scared? Or could this be something totally minor?
Thanks Diane

Answer
Diane,

It could be the microchip, that's the area.  One way to find out is to have the vet run the scanner of the lump and see if the ID number comes up.

My oldest pug has a lump from the microchip, unless it changes size or becomes painful, I wouldn't worry too much about it.  Keep and eye on it but do ask the vet to run the scanner over it to see.

Take care!  Bulldogs are so adorable!!

Laura
