Found a lump on your pet?
Lumps and bumps are common in dogs and cats, and many are harmless โ but itโs worth having them checked if they are:
๐พ New or recently noticed
๐พ Growing or changing quickly
๐พ Firm, fixed or irregular
๐พ Red, irritated or bleeding
๐พ Painful or uncomfortable
๐พ Being licked or chewed
๐พ Rubbing or affecting movement
๐ถ Our clinic mascot Moose recently had several lumps removed, including one that was making walking uncomfortable. After surgery, he soon had his spring back in his step.
Depending on the lump, we may recommend monitoring, sampling or surgical removal.
