My dog has some type of growth on her elbow. It is moveable and does not appear to be causing her any pain. I've included some photos below. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 7 years and 4 months old | 68 lbs

Hi and thanks for your question this morning. It is hard to say exactly what the mass could be without examining Madison and taking a sample of the mass first. This should be done at your local veterinarian's office to determine if it is something of concern or not and if it needs to be removed. It is good that it is a freely movable mass that does not seem to bother her, but I would still have a sample taken just to be sure. I hope this helps and I wish you and Madison the best!
