Found a lump...

[Custard Cream]

...this morning on the upper lip of our one year old Italian Spinone, Myrtle.

Trying not to panic, but our old girl was riddled with lumps and I don't want the same to happy to our young girl.

She's totally normal in every way in herself and the lump doesn't seem sore to touch. It's literally come up overnight. I'm hoping its a reaction to a bite or sting, or possibly a cat scratch as she plays with cat a lot.

Off to vets this afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Thanks noodle - am trying not to worry!

Our old spin was covered in lipomas and lived to the ripe old age of 14 when I think an internal lump eventually got the better of her.

Just a bit odd to have come up overnight - am wondering if it might be tick related?

Don't worry....This looks like a histiocytoma ...often seen in young dogs,a non malignant tumour.it is also called a button tumour and will often go away on its own...my dog had one. we used panalog cream...it went away in a couple of weeks.
it is suggested to not use plastic feeding bowls as this can often cause this condition.

What does the vet say?

Well done Bella, vet diagnosed as a histiocytoma. Said it should go away as quickly as it came. Phew!

Great news...if it doesn't go away,google the cream,it's worth using.
