| Yorkie has white lumps? Hi guys, Quick question I noticed just before my dog jakes check up for flying to usa he had a white lump on his thigh about the size of a grain of rice but round, it is not attached to anything is just beneath the skin, it is not sore no matter how hard I squeeze it. My vet checked it on his fit to fly check up and said to keep and eye on it and if it didnt clear to get it checked in usa. Well since we arrived I noticed another similar but smaller lump on his mid back to the left of his spine. I am going to the vet as soon as I can find one locally but I am worried as my vet in uk casually said it could be many things cyst, spot, wart etc but he also mentioned the word tumour in this list and needless to say I am panicing. Anyone every had experience of this? Ruthx

| Carley had a tiny little lump near her neck. I took her into the vet and they did a needle aspiration and she looked at the cells under a microscope. She told me it was a cyst (had a fancy name) and was nothing to worry about. She did say to watch it, and bring her back if it got larger, but she felt it was just a cyst and nothing big. The needle aspiration wasn't very much, less than 50.00 ( I think ) and I have an expensive vet (in my opinion), but I really really like her.

| Usually they are little sebaceous cysts. They can be aspirated with a needle. Some vets leave them alone and you just watch too see if they get bigger, then they remove them. I've had them in several Yorkies over the years. |
