Question

My dog has a fatty lump on her back, does not irritate her what could this be ? She had had the lump for about 6 month, no sign of any change in her

Hi there and thanks for your question! Fatty tumors in dogs often feel like a hard boiled egg and generally do not cause any issues except when they become very large. I would have the lump aspirated by your veterinarian to be sure it is in fact a fatty tumor and not another type of tumor.
