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 Yorkie 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,"

Hi, I was looking for info about my Peeka's lump. Its right above his penis and you can see it when you lay him on his back. It seems to be conected to a bone and it doesn't hurt him at all, even when I felt it. He has an appt this saturday anyway, but it was weird to just see it pop up in the past few weeks. He's a year old this month.
