Thanks Girls,Like i say he's fine in himself and a happy active dog.

But My next door neignours Brother said his dog was the same but cause it was cancer they put him down before he got sick.

If i lost my dog it would be like losing one of my Kids Sad

It could just be a non malignant tumour (think their the ones that arent dangerous), I remember an old dog that used to live near my dads and it was covered in these lumps all over its body but it lived on and was fine, not all tumours are bad. How old is your dog? It could just be some kind of cyst/abscess insect bite that has got infected or a grass seed imbeded in the skin. Hope it goes ok at the vets.

My dog had one on her backside, although it wasnt cancerous, it was huge tho and really unsightly, but because of where it was they couldnt remove it. She was really old almost 15 old for a german shepard, and she was still fit and well in herself, eventually her back legs went and we had to put her down, but it wasnt due to the lump.

Hope it goes ok for you hun Smile

Elaine she was the best dog ever, so calm and reliable, I would have another anyday, rather than a little yappy thing, she was so good with kids and other dogs, she didnt like cats tho Very Happy

LMao funnily enough neither did any of mine....ben was the best out of all of our though...he even chased the provident man hahaha.
funny he was he wouldnt let any harm come to any of us but was so laid back...he was great ...was hit by a truck and eveything and still got up and lived for years beyond that till someone stole him and put him in a dog fight Sad

they are great dogs

my gran had a doberman and she was always having lumps all over when she was a bit older and they were only fatty tissue

apparently if you can move the lump thats a good sign
