Hello. The most likely cause for the lump on Moet is mammary cancer. You do want to have your veterinarian examine Moet as soon as possible & schedule her for surgery. Fortunately, breast cancer in dogs is not as aggressive as it is in women, so removing the tumor may be be curative for this site. Unfortunately, other tumors can turn up in other parts of the mammary chain, so you may want to discuss any follow up chemotherapy after the tumor has been analyzed by a pathologist. Sorry for some bad news, but I am glad you are looking for information. The sooner you address this, the better things will be for Moet. Good luck & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
