PLEASE HELP Theres a lump On my Dog ?
On the 24th I got my yorkie mix hair cut with the dog groomer. When the hair was chopped from his back foot, on top is a massive lump. We hadn't seen it because he has long hair.
Its quite hard blackish and partly red/sore and partly open. Theres no puss. Toby is fine in himself hes eating well , running and is his normal happy self. Toby is 11 years old,
I am taking my yorkie mix to the vet Thursday. I tried to get him sooner but they refused to see him till Thursday they are my only vets.
I am so worried about it I have been crying my eyes out I love my Toby more than anything.
I dont think its cancer because hes fine no pain or anything. My mum thinks it could be an abscess because we live near woodlands and she thinks it could have been grass awns or a bite?
Heres my Toby hes a yorkie mix same size as a westie.

with old age most dogs develope lumps and bumps my dog is 12 andhas one in the same spot. The skin growths are usually harmless and if he has one he will most likely deveople several more as he ages. You shoud get it looked at by a vet just to make sure it isn't cancerous. Many people have them surgically removed whether they are harmless or not but why put a pup through surgery if it isn't necessary.

You've got a cute dog there. My dog Paco, who is a bichon frise had a huge growth between his eyes. I put if off for a while and finally took him to the vet. They performed surgery to remove the growth and I paid extra to have it sent out to have tested and they found that it was a benign tumor. Unfortunately pedigree dogs sometimes have these kinds of problems and we just have to put up with them. You don't hear of many cases of cancer in dogs and I hope that the lump your speaking of will be no problem. Chances your dog will be fine but I'd get him to the vet soon. BTW my dog has these lesions frequently and they come and go by themselves, I hope your dog has one of those. Good luck and I hope this gives you some assurance.

I have had a Sharpei with abscess. I also had a Sharpei that had tumors up and down her back legs. The abscess cleared up with antibiotics. The vet removed all the tumors with surgery and the dog lived out her life with no further signs of cancer. LOL

It sounds like the Lump is hair trapped under the skin. It happened to my dogs elbow. Try using warm salt water compresses. Then, put on some antibiotic ointment. But get Toby to a vet asap. Make sure it isn't some sort of parasite under the skin, and that Toby doesn't need an oral antibiotic. The vet will clean up the wound or whatever it is. Also, order some Novalsan-it is an excellent wound cleaner.
