Fatty Growth Under Skin ????
Hello,
We own a 7 year old "Heinz 57" who is very healthy and weighs about 60 lbs. We just discovered a growth under the skin on her ribcage just behind the front leg. It is "soft" and about the size of a small marble or an almond. It kind of moves under the skin; rolls if you will. The dog doesn't seem affected when pressure is applied to the growth. Is this a benign cyst perhaps? Or should it be checked immediately by a vet? I am leaning towards monitoring it for enlargement at this point. A Concerned Dog Lover, Ed |
