Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While I do not have all the information needed, any new lumps should be evaluated by a fine needle aspirate or biopsy to see what it is and if it is a tumor, which type it is. This will help guide which therapy is needed. Keep in mind that not all tumors are malignant so it may be something that does not require removal. Good luck and have a great day!
