However, in some cases, it grows outward and can be felt under the skin as a very definite lump. This might very well be what your Frankie has. I know I got such a fright when I first felt it on Spanky, but my Vet assured me it was nothing to worry about. Hope this helps,

The last ribs on Gizmo point out. You cant see them, only feel them. Freaked me out at first, but doesn't phase him.
