My dog has a painful lump on her head. It's not improving. What now?

Question

Hi there ! My corgi ( had her for 10 years since she was born :) has a small lump on the top of her head. It's painful to the touch and very painful for her if I press. The vet 2 weeks ago said it looks okay and just like a bump but to bring her back in if it hasn't improved. It hasn't .. we're short on. Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 23 lbs

Unfortunately if the lump is getting worse and not improving, you will need to have it rechecked to determine what should be done next. I would recommend having it removed to completely resolve the problem. Especially if it is bothering Bella. Some vets will offer freezing therapy to freeze a lump for removal. This option is much more affordable than having it surgically removed but sometimes the lumps do not resolve with cryogenic freezing alone. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
