Just found a lump! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

roosmom · 11-16-2007, 01:36 PM

So I was just holding Roo (my 10 month old) and I felt a lump on her back right above her right hind leg. She's not whining when I touch it or anything but it's weird and I just noticed it which means it can't have been there long since I pet her and hold her all day! I called my vet and since she's acting normal they said to just watch it and definitely call back if it gets bigger. I'm such a worrier- my first thought is it's cancer- but then again Roo and her little (aka big- she's twice Roo's size already at less than 4 mos) play a lot and tumble around together so I guess it could be just a bruise. But I'm so scared it's something worse =(

Oh well I guess there's nothing to do but watch it and hope it goes away by itself (the vet closed at 4:30 today until sunday evening).

when did she have her last shots, sometimes they will cause a lump...

Well she just got spayed a week ago today but I haven't noticed it all week long and she's only 2 1/4 lbs....before that her last shot was probably at 4-5 months! So I guess it could have been an anesthetic or something from last week but doubt it was a vaccination since that was 5 or so months ago! =( she's running around playing with Pumpkin though so at least she's acting normal!

They could have given her a shot of something that would cause it, I hope it goes down real soon...

I agree it was prob from a shot. Teddy had a lump when he got a shot but it went away.
