Hi there. Costs will vary greatly depending on the area you live in and the clinic you go to, as well as factors like the size and location of the lumps, overall difficulty of the procedure, etc. So this would be a question to ask the veterinarian who is going to perform the surgery - their staff should be happy to give you a detailed estimate for the costs involved. Some types of masses do get bigger and smaller over time. Your veterinarian should be able to explain why has been happening after the masses are sent off for histopath to find out what they are.
