Little Bailey has a Lump :( Hello YT, I hope everyone and their dog is doing well. This evening I was petting our 5.5 month old Bailey when I noticed a lump under his skin located on the right side of his body close to his right shoulder. My wife is worried sick, so I'm trying to find some comfort for her until we get him to the vet. I read some posts made here suggesting that a rabies shot could have caused the issue. Bailey had his rabies shot in the last 10 days. When I touch, or try to squeeze the lump it doesn't seem to bother him. He seems normal in terms of energy and eating/potty habits. If you can post your thoughts/experiences I would appreciate it. Thanks for reading. |
Welcome!! It sounds like it is from the rabies shot. That happened to my Pixie last year and I had never had a dog get a lump before so I took her in and the vet verified that it was from the rabies shot and would go away in a few weeks and it did. So try not to worry. |
It may very well be the rabies shot. My Belle had that happen to her but I also remember the vet telling me that it may occur so I had already expected it. |
I really appreciate the replies. Is it normal for the dog to show it bothers him if I rub it, or try to move it around? He cries if I rub, or try to squeeze it. Thanks again! |
**it didn't seem to bother him before, but it does now. However, if I tell him its ok he stops whining** |
I agree. Sounds like a lump from the rabies shot. Some of mine react more severely than others. And, yes, it will be tender. |
I have heard also that rabies shot can do this. I hope he is better soon! |
Awwww, I hope Bailey is doing better today. Will look back for an update. Huggs |

I think it's from his shot....Lucky had the same thing!! |
Any updates? |
Thanks for all the replies and concern. Bailey is doing well and his lump is almost gone. Thanks again. |
Samy also has a lump and I freaked out when I first felt it but after reading here and there realized that it is indeed from rabies - he had his rabies shot about 3 days before that. The lump is still there but will hopefully go away soon!! The vet said there is nothing to worry about. :) |
Just an update.. the lump is gone.. i think it went away after a week or so... yay! |
That's great!!! |
