| Unusual Bump? I originally posted this in General Discussion...thinking I was posting here instead. So I am reposting, my apologies. I was giving Pickles a belly rub just a bit ago. When doing so, I noticed a bump that is close to her midline nearer to her right front leg. It is about the size of an eraser, and looks like a blister but feels hard. I have a vet appointment in the morning, but any ideas?

| Update My adorable husband took Pickles to the vet today, thank goodness she sends him home with notes for me. She knows me too well. This bump that I have found is a harmless "button tumor" according to my husband. Her instructions are to just watch it, they usually go away in 2-6 months and is not uncommon for dogs under 2 years. She said if it grew, we would re-evaluate it.

| histiocytoma Yes my vet is awesome, or has grown to know over the years that I am neurotic. Either way, I get what I need. So Pickles button tumor is called a histiocytoma, which is simply a benign skin growth. And from the few articles I have read, they do seem to pop up overnight. So I can let that guilt go. Thanks for the concern.
