Hi and thanks for your request regarding Bear. Unfortunately it is difficult to give you a precise answer about this lump as a sample of it should be ideally taken to be able to diagnose it properly. Your vet may want to perform an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy to sample the bump and determine its underlying nature. Differentials include tumors and depending on the underlying nature of the lump the treatment may be different, even surgical with complete removal. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!
