Our boy has been to the vets today regarding a small solid lump that has appeared in the last week or so on his left side. We were hoping he had just got a bite/scratch that had got infected but would appear not to be the case. Vet was concerned that it is a solid lump and that it had ulcerated.
Louis is due to have the growth removed it on Monday! The vet thinks it's probably just a benign growth but is sending it to histology to be checked. Since the vet cut the hair around it it looks awful as he keeps scratching it and making it bleed.
He seems fine in himself but I'm worried that he's getting lumps at only 18 months old! Previous dogs that I had haven't had lumps till they were getting old.
Have any of you had young dogs/puppies needing lumps removed?
Should I be worried that he is needing growths removed given his young age?
