I'm sorry to hear Ozzy has a lump on his leg. I do recommend all growths be evaluated by a veterinarian to determine what type of growth it is, and whether or not it is concerning to possibly be cancerous. As it is on his leg and with its size, even if it is benign (non-cancerous), it may need a surgery to be removed to ensure it doesn't become a problem for him. Good luck!
