| Soft bump like a bubble on her head I have just noticed my yorkie, Chloe, has grown a bump, like a bubble on her head! It is very soft, its not like when you hit somewhere and comes a bump. i am a bit worried! Could it be something serious??? Like a cancer? Or could it just be we pulled a hair by mistake while brushing her??? |

| Do you use barrettes or bands? Is it in that area? If no, it's best to have the vet take a look. Any bump can potentially be cancerous, but that is extremely doubtful. Let the vet take a look. It's probably just a cyst or fatty lump or something. And how big is it? Are you sure it isn't a bug bite?

| Have your vet take a look at it. This will ease your mind. |

| I agree with everyone above to have a vet examine the bubble. Max had a small cyst on the top of his head when he was a pup. We had the vet take a look. She was going to scrape it during his surgery to be neutered, but it went away. Capt Noonie's girl had a bump on her head that was excised when she was spayed. The doctor had it analyzed just to be safe. Everything turned out fine.

| Is this a puppy that has a soft spot on their head?

| yes I sometimes put a bow on her head. I am suspecting it could be something like that!! its as small as the tip of my little finger. However, I will take her to the vet next Monday to have my mind at rest. |

| Hopefully it's just a misquitoe bite
