My French bulldog has a growing lump on his leg. Should I be worried?

Hello, my 2 year old French bulldog has had a growth on his leg that we first noticed about 7 days ago. In that time it has grown quite a bit, and appears to look like a wart. He does not lick or chew the area, he barely seems to notice it. We aren’t sure if we should be worried or not.

Thank you for contacting Pet/Coach with your question about Tucker. This could be a benign growth but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed. Give his vet a call to make him an appointment. Best of luck.

This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors.
