yellowlabsrule Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Please if you have any idea about this post ASAP. I am really freaked out as our previous dog died of cancer. A few minutes ago, I found a weird growth on Winnie. At first I thought it was a tick, but it looks like part of her skin just turned into a bag or something? Could it be an absess? But why? It is on her chest by her left leg. It is pretty little, smaller than a pea. Does anyone have any idea? I'm really scared. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Cassie Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 It could be some thing as simple as an ingrown hair or a wart.... But; I would definately have it looked at by a Vet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
behle Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Fatty tumor, maybe? Ben has one. We just have to watch it for any increase in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aonir Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 My grandmas dog tramp had a HUGE tumor on his left shoulder. When it starting rotting, the vets had to remove it. Doesn't sound like a cyst... But there is still a chance of cancer. I'd go see your vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicat613 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Sounds like what is called a skin tag? Interesting, let us know how it goes. Don't worry, that won't help anything. There are numerous harmless growths that can happen on dogs. I am sure this will be one of those! Let us know what happens at the vet! Stay calm!

zac850 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 It souds like a wart. All older dogs get them. They are very commen, and they are benign. For your pice of mind, take him to the vet, but i think hes fine. How old is he. If he is about 7 or older, it is proubly just a wart.
