Hi I just realized there is a bump under one of my dogs breasts. I don’t know if I should take her to the vet. I did some research and I think it might be a memmary gland tumor.

Poor Daisy! A lump in the breast can be a cancerous tumor, a benign tumor or can be an infection. I recommend to have Daisy examined by her veterinarian today if possible. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
