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. Pet's info: Dog | Anatolian Shepherd | Female | 10 months and 25 days old | 84 lbs

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.

My Dog Has a Lump Under Her Breast. Should I See a Vet?

Health & Wellbeing

I have a almost 10 year old beagle mix and I noticed a lump under her breast bone and I'm worried it might be cancer. What are other possibilities and how would it be diagnosed?

Besides a tumor, the lump could also be an abscess or a cyst. In order to diagnose what it is, Daisy Duke would need to see her vet. He or she would likely start with a fine needle aspirate, which is where a needle is inserted into the lump and a small sample of cells is taken. These cells are examined under a microscope to determine what the mass is.

My dog has a lump on her chest don’t know If it is cancer it is four inches big help

I would recommend taking Daisy to a veterinarian. Without a physical examination and an aspirate of the lump it is hard to say if it is cancerous or not. Your veterinarian can either take an aspirate or do a biopsy if needed to determine if it is something to be concerned about. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

My dog has lumps are on her breast and stomach

Any lumps on the breast of an unspayed dog should be investigated by your veterinarian as they can be mammary carcinoma, or breast cancer. There are many other masses that can appear under the skin that may be more benign, such as lipomas or fatty tumors, but it is best to have your vet examine these masses and take a sample from them to determine if they are an aggressive cancer that requires removal.

My Brittany Spaniel of 3 years old has developed a fluid like lump around her teet which is slightly enlarged also. She does not react to it being felt and squeezed but I am concerned. We are going on holiday with her tomorrow should we just keep it

I would continue to monitor is for any sudden changes. It should definitely get checked out by a vet in the next few days. Possible causes for this include mammary tumors, tumors not related to the mammary system, infection, or mammary hyperplasia. If it gets suddenly bigger or there is any discharge, I would see a vet sooner.

I recently found a lump on one of my dogs breasts. I don’t know if I should take her to the vet or not, I researched online and I think it might be a memmary tumor .

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address our concern. Judging from the photos, it appears that the mass is associated with the mammary gland. Some dogs can have a larger amount of fat and glandular tissue that is normal and nothing to be concerned about. However, this could be a primary mammary mass that needs further testing. I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at this so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Dahlia has a small growth near her breast. Looks gray and sometimes red. Blood boil blister a cyst?

This growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Dahlia 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.

hi my name is rosy I have a cockalier one of her chest is big and you can feel a hard ball what can It be ?

Thank you for using PetCoach, Rosy! If your dog has an enlarged area on her chest/abdomen that you think is mammary (breast tissue), this can be a sign of an infection (mastitis) or a cancerous growth. Infections occur in dogs that are nursing puppies, while cancerous growths are more common in older dogs that are not fixed. I recommend having your dog seen by a vet as soon as possible, especially if the area is red, warm, and/or painful. After a physical exam, your vet can discuss further diagnostics and treatment options with you. I hope all is well!

I have an appointment set up for Friday at 3:30 but it is the earliest they could get us in. I noticed these lumps today one in the breast and the smaller one next to her vagina. They were never there before. They are firm and I am worried about canc

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! An appointment on Friday should be okay, as long as you do not notice the mass bleeding or any discharge coming from the nipple. While these growths may be cancerous, they may also be an infection. Your vet can recommend a fine needle aspirate, which is a procedure that takes a small needle to collect a number of cells that can be looked at under a microscope to determine what the mass is. They may also recommend surgery, along with blood-work and x-rays to make sure that there is no spread or compromise of Juliette's organs. I hope all is well!

I need to know if this lump is anything to worry about or not

It is impossible to say for sure but approximately 50% of mammary (breast) lumps are cancerous and they are particularly concerning in older and entire (non-neutered) females add if there is any discoloration (appears bruised in picture), pain or discharge. I strongly recommend an urgent vet check given the red flags which are present

Hi I have an old but healthy dog, but I've just noticed that she has a hard lump situated in her lower breast, I'm not exactly sure of her age but I'd say 10+ she's a lovely Yorkshire terrier an we would be grateful for any advice cos I can't affor

A firm mass near or on the mammary gland of an intact, older female dog may be a mammary gland tumor (breast cancer). Tuppence should be examined by your veterinarian. A simple fine needle aspirate can be done in the clinic to collect samples for pathology. This may be able to diagnose the nature of the mass. It can be done in one visit. If the tumor is malignant, your veterinarian may recommend chest x-rays and surgery to resect the mammary gland or chain of glands on the affected side. Discuss payment plans or alternative financing such as CareCredit (www.carecredit.com) with your veterinarian. Consider asking family members or friends to help defray costs. You may also be able to secure financial assistance through local charities and Red Rover (www.redrover.org).
