Pet's info: Dog | Cockapoo | Female | spayed | 9 years and 2 months old | 22 lbs
My dog is 9 year old cocapoo. She has a lump close to her throat should I be worried? She still eats alot. She does have alot of earwax build up and has been scratching her ear alot.

Aw poor Tottie! Without examining the lump is impossible to say if it is anything to be worried about. It also sounds like Tottie has an ear infection. I'd recommend taking Tottie to see your veterinarian so that her ears can be checked. Your vet can also check the lump and take a needle sample to determine if it is a problem. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Tottie's issues can be resolved quickly!
