My dog has firm, skin-colored lumps that ooze fluid. What are they?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | neutered | 5 years and 4 months old | 35 lbs

My dog has 2 lumps. The bigger one on his side above his back leg and the other smaller on his front leg. They are fairly firm and have no colour, just look like the rest of his skin. the one on his leg looks darker because hes a beagle and has flecks and that one is on one of his flecks. they don't bother him or hurt him when you squeeze them, can be moved around and twisted so guessing they are in his skin. clear fluid coming out of the pores in the lump when you squeeze it.What could they be?

These two lumps need to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Chucky to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growths 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.
