Just took Biggie Smalls to the vet because he has had a lump under his armpit for a couple of weeks now. He has had bumps before (just a couple of months ago) that the vet said were allergic reactions so I assumed this one was the same thing. Vet aspirated the lump and said it is a benign Fibrous Mass. Anyone else's dog have a fibrous mass? Vet said it is no harm to him. She said it will likely not go away but to just keep an eye on it. I worry though I am a breast cancer survivor and lumps of any kind scare me.
