Strange lump

[ellesque]

I can't sleep because I'm awake worrying about a lump I found on Milo's back, sort of between his shoulder blades. It's hard, about the size of a marble, and I can move it around with my fingers. It doesn't bother him, and he doesn't seem to even be able to feel it. I'm so worried that it's cancer or something horrible like that. :( He's only 1

I know it's easier said than done but don't stress out just yet!
Bella used to get small pea or marble sized lumps where she gets her vaccinations too. I enquired to the Vet about it and he said it happens to some dogs. It's nothing to worry about. It's caused by the vaccine itself until it distributes evenly...

And as he said, it got smaller & smaller with each day until it was completely gone. Until the next vaccination, that is!!!

If it gets bigger or stays the same, starts causing pain or discomfort, then take Milo to the vet! But for now, just keep a close eye on it. And GET SOME SLEEP!!!

My Aussie got a lump on his back after his vaccines, and it never went away. We just grew used to it.

When I last went to the vet to get vaccinations, she said that sometimes a lumps appears and that you should just call and describe it to make sure it's alright.

/Just wanted to share- our little Zoe had a lump that developed maybe a year ago- I was so scared of the same things you are (I think it was actually on her head- a cyst right by her ear- we took her to the vet and they gave us creme to put on it- before we even started the creme the next day her lump was gone- I think the dr said it was like infected doggy acne
