Should I worry about lumps on my dog after she lost pregnancy weight?

Question

After pregnancy weight was lost I noticed abnormal lumps on my dog. She has also had a hip/leg problem for some years now. Im very poor and cant afford a vet, should I be worried about these lumps? Thank you for your heart for the tiny babies. <3. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female

Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Are you concerned about the lumps on either side of her hips? If so, these are love handles, just a bit of excess fat from a loving mom. Nothing to worry about here. If you can not afford veterinary care for Genesis' leg problems, then start her on a human or dog glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement. I would give one human pill a day. Take care.
