My Westie has little bumps/lumps, only a few of them they’re very small almost look like teats, they’re on his neck side and rear and chest, he’s had them a while and it doesn’t look like they’re getting bigger, any suggestions

These do appear to be possible benign sebaceous cyst type tumors, which are typically non-cancerous. However, I would suggest getting One tested by your vet just to be sure that these are nothing to worry about. I hope everything works out well for your pet Monty. Best wishes and take care. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2773
