My dog has changing bumps on legs. Allergies or something else?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 100 lbs

My dog is a 4 year old male boxer/ Great Dane mix. He recently developed these bumps on his legs on his knees. Based on the day they seem to change from firm bumps to deflated bumps. We took him to the vet and they told us it was allergies, but we do not think this diagnostic is right. He seems to be developing more bumps on his legs daily. Just curious if you have a guess as to what this is. Much appreciated! Thanks!

These growths needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take him to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.
