My dog has a hard bump on her hip after grooming. Is it cancer?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 6 years and 7 months old | 19 lbs

Yesterday Aubree went to the groomers and when she got back I was petting her and noticed this “bump” on her hip it’s hard it kinda feels like a muscle or bone, I didn’t noticed the same lump on her other side of her hip, im really worried she is over weight, could it be cancer :( she is only 6 and pretty healthy

Aubree is so beautiful! If she has a bump on her hip, I would have her seen by a vet for it. She's still a young dog, and while cancer could be a possibility, it wouldn't be as strong a possibility as an older dog. Still have her seen, and I would see if you can get her into a vet this weekend. Best of luck.
