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,"

Hey I just was reading this post I'm wondering is this the same thing my wee yorkie has, is it the last rib on her left side at the back? Just wondering coz I was at the vet on thur with my wee Chloe and they told me it's nothing to worry about but I'm still worried like coz it's only on one side... X
